<P>
After numerous kernel panics, I have concluded that my
<BR>
Symbios card (Symbios Logic 53C400A) which is recognized
<BR>
by the ncr53c406a driver (and kernel panics right after)
<BR>
has seen better days. I'm not into debugging SCSI drivers
<BR>
for ancient cards, so I'm retiring it.
<BR>
<P>I cried uncle and purchased an Adaptec SCSI card 2906,
<BR>
which takes the AIC7*** driver and is PCI plug and pray.
<BR>
<P>After an uneventful kernel build and boot, the kernel
<BR>
located both the card and the scanner. from there,
<BR>
find-scanner worked and so did xscan-image.
<BR>
<P>Thanks for your help! When all else fails, toss the
<BR>
crappy SCSI card. I think I'm the first Linux Chick
<BR>
on my block to get her scanner working under Linux and
<BR>
SANE.

<EM>&gt; &gt; Hi!
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I have an HP Scanjet 4C with a Symbios SCSI card that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; won't find the scanner on Linux. I built a new kernel
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; with the Symbios and NCR drivers enabled, but I can't
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; move past that.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Here are the boot messages:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; NCR53c406a: no available ports found
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; sym53c416.c: Version 1.0.0
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; scsi : 0 hosts.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; scsi : detected total.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; I don't use any kernel arguments in Lilo, but I couldn't
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; find anywhere that could tell me what the magic words
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; are if there are any. Does anyone know?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; According to the RH 6.0 installation guide:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; ncr53c406a=io_port,[,IRQ[,FASTPIO]]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and according to the source (in lk 2.3.51):
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * LILO command line usage: ncr53c406a=&lt;PORTBASE&gt;[,&lt;IRQ&gt;[,&lt;FASTPIO&gt;]]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * Specify IRQ = 0 for non-interrupt driven mode.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * FASTPIO = 1 for fast pio mode, 0 for slow mode.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; These are the auto-probed ports (but autoprobing may be disabled):
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; { 0x230, 0x330, 0x280, 0x290, 0x330, 0x340, 0x300, 0x310, 0x348, 0x350 }
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; looks like 0x330 is the default (use &quot;cat /proc/ioports&quot; to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; see if some other piece of hardware has grabbed that port).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Then there's the possibility of an interrupt clash that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; can be ruled out by using a value of 0 in the second option
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; as shown above.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The Symbios boot line for the similiarly numbered sym53c416 is:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; * LILO command line usage: sym53c416=&lt;PORTBASE&gt;[,&lt;IRQ&gt;]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
