Scanner and SCSI driver

[Martin Giguere]

English:
For all english speaking out there, I am pointing this guy to kernel 
2.0.36pre9 
ftp://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/alan/2.0.36-pre-patch-9.gz
which solve my friend's problem with a similar setup, and that the 
kernel patch as a whole is not stable yet.

Francais:

Un de mes amis a un arrangement simmilere, et a essaye avec success le 
patch pour kernel pointe dans le paragraph precedent.  Essai et laisse 
moi savoir.  A considere que le patch n'est pas de qualitee "production" 
en entier, mais si tu veux je peux extraire le driver scsi aicxxx

Laisse moi savoir

Hi

First, I'll hope you'll forgive me my "Frenchglish"... Try to answer me 
with
"simple" words... like a kid !!!

Description of the SCSI material :
 - Adaptec 2940 bios 1.21
 - HD 3,2 Go (wich Linux S.u.S.E. 5.2 and 5.3 installed)
 - CD-ROM reader SCSI internal
 - Scanner Umax Astra 1220 S external :-)
 - CD-ROM writer external at the end of the bus

Description of the problem :
When I try to use my scanner with SANE-0.73, the SCSI bus is "stopped" 
(I'
don't find the right word - sorry) and the system is halted. The only 
thing I
can do is reboot Linux.

However, I've note some interesting things :
 - I try a kernel with an old driver (4.1.1) and everything is OK even 
scan
 - With a 5.0.13, the system hang-up when I scan
 - With a 5.0.19, I can't boot (a problem of delay to reset the SCSI 
bus)


Thanks for your support
