I am trying to get my Slackware 3.1 Linux system to use my Muscan Flatbed 
scanner.  I am running kernel 2.0.30 with generic SCSI support compiled in (as 
well as every other kind of SCSI component support!!).  My SCSI Bus consists of 
the following components:

an Adaptec AHA-2940U (ID 7), 
a NEC 700 MB HD (ID 1),  
a Compaq 1 GB HD (ID 0), 
a Sony 5000 DAT drive (ID 3), 
a NEC 4x CD-ROM drive (ID 5), 
an external SyQuest 135MB drive (ID4), 
and my Muscan scanner (ID 6).

Under Windows 95, I can scan fine with no problems.  Except for the fact that 
the scanner shows up under every possible LUN on its ID.

When I boot into Linux, it resets the SCSI bus when it gets to identifing the 
scanner, then continues loading Linux.  In Linux, it does not show up under 
/proc/scsi/scsi.

Why would it reset the SCSI bus????  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
