I am working on an INTEL 200 MHz Pentium with IDE drives and CDROM.
I have read SCSI-HOWTO, man sane-scsi. I have searched dejanews,
comp.os.linux.hardware, comp.os.linux.setup, and the redhat-list archives.
No solution is obvious to me. The last I checked Microtek offered no linux
help.
I am not succeeding in getting the SCSI host adapter recognized. My RedHat
install is out of the box and I believe SCSI modular support is enabled in
the kernel since I get the following from 'modprobe'
aw@teq:~>modprobe -l -t scsi
/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/wd7000.o

/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/BusLogic.o
/lib/modules/2.0.31/scsi/53c7,8xx.o
I then do
root@teq:>insmod sg
to enable the generic scsi module per the man page 'sane-scsi'
After that
aw@teq:~>lsmod
Module Pages Used by
sg 1 0
autofs 2 1 (autoclean)
ipx 3 9 (autoclean)
vfat 3 1 (autoclean)
tells me the generic scsi module 'sg' is loaded.
Running RedHat's 'kernelcfg' program gives errors.
Hence, I manually edited /etc/conf.modules to include a line like
alias scsi_host aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7
( NOTE ioport=140 HEX IRQ=9 and card scsiid=7 )
ALTERNATIVELY I tried a line like
alias scsi_host sg
to no avail. I could not find any syntax hints to tell sg the ioport etc.
Running SANE's
root@teq:/dev>scanimage --list-devices
[snapscan] add_device: failed to open scsi device "/dev/scanner".
File open error: Operation not supported by device
[snapscan] sane_snapscan_init: failed to add device "/dev/scanner"
device `pnm:0' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
device `pnm:1' is a Noname PNM file reader virtual device
where I have tried all of the following
/dev/scanner -> /dev/sga, sgb, sgc, sgd, sge, sdf, sgg, sgh
I am assuming since my scanner is at scsiid=1 that /dev/sgb should be the
correct generic scsi device.
Any help is appreciated, Allen
