<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; My sane-scsi(5) says:</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; </i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; ncr810 For this card, make sure the SCSI timeout is</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; reasonably big; the default timeout for the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Linux 2.0 kernels is 10 seconds, which is</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; way too low when scanning large area. If</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; you get messages of the form "restart (ncr</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; dead ?)" in your /var/log/messages file or</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; on the system console, it's an indication</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; that the timeout is too short. In this</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; case, find the line "if (np-&gt;latetime&gt;10)"</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; in file ncr53c8xx.c (normally in directory</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi) and change the</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; constant 10 to, say, 60 (one minute). Then</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; rebuild the kernel/module and try again.</i><br>

Hi, <br>
<p>
I'm writing sane-support for the Tamarack SCSI scanner. I had the same<br>
problem: my NCR810 driver would report an "NCR DEAD" when I tried to<br>
scan a slightly non-trivial amount of data. <br>
<p>
Initially I increased the timeout to one minute. However nowadays, my<br>
driver simply reduces the scan-size to at most an inch at a time.<br>
The Tamarack takes less than 10 seconds to scan an inch, so there<br>
is no problem. This way I can run a standard kernel. (well almost).<br>
<p>
Mustec maintainers: This might also be applicable for the mustec<br>
backend....<br>
<p>
Roger.<br>
