<EM>&gt; I just installed DEVEL_1_9 from the CVS repository and couldn't get
</EM><BR>

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; kernel).
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Thanks to the debugging output, the problem was clear:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [wohler@gbr:587]% SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=128 SANE_DEBUG_HP=128 scanimage

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; [sanei_scsi] sanei_scsi_open: could not allocate SG buffer memory wanted: 131072 got: 32768
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; The sane-scsi manpage suggested bumping SG_BIG_BUFF in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; /usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h to 128*1024-512=130560 bytes, but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; this doesn't work. After bumping SG_BIG_BUFF to 128*1024=131072
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; bytes, recompiling the kernel, rebooting, and recompiling sane, all
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; was well (phew!). I would suggest updating the sane-scsi man page
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; with the correct value to save others from an extra kernel compiling
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; step.
</EM><BR>
<P><P>That's my fault: In the recent version, sanei_scsi_open calls
<BR>
sanei_scsi_open_extended, which allows variable buffer sizes for recent
<BR>
kernels. For older kernels, a fixes buffer size of SCSIBUFFERSIZE (= 128
<BR>
* 1024) is used. And that cannot work, because SG_BIG_BUFF is by default
<BR>
set to 128 * 1024 - 512. I'll fix that this eveing. (Sorry, I can't do
<BR>
that right now at work)
<BR>
<P>And updating the man page is indeed a good idea...
