<i>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; On Wed, 28 Jan 1998 22:47:40 -0500 (EST), Justin &lt;<a href="mailto:monitron@meatware.com">monitron@meatware.com</a>&gt; said:</i><br>
<p>
Justin&gt; Since Linux/SPARC isn't listed on the Supported Platforms<br>
Justin&gt; list at the sane website, I thought someone might be<br>
Justin&gt; interested in this.<br>
<p>
Sure am! Thanks for the info. I updated sane-support.html as well as<br>
I could.<br>
<p>
Justin&gt; Only problem relates to the sparc SCSI, not sane. While the<br>
Justin&gt; scanner is moving and not scanning, the kernel vomits out a<br>
Justin&gt; steady stream of:<br>
<p>
Justin&gt; esp0: Warning, live target 5 not responding to selection.<br>
Justin&gt; (scanner is ID 5)<br>
<p>
Justin&gt; Also, once, the scanner froze the SCSI bus and the system<br>
Justin&gt; eventually kernel panicked (root drive is on the same bus)<br>
Justin&gt; ... but this happened once out of 20 or so successful scans.<br>
<p>
The driver may simply be a bit eager in timing out. It's not an<br>
uncommon problem. E.g., we had the same problem with the ncr810<br>
driver. You may want to check the driver for timeout constants that<br>
may be related to what you're seeing.<br>
