I have been having some difficulty getting my scanner to operate correctly with the recent kernels. I have a UMAX Astra 610S flatbed scanner connected to an Adaptec 2910 controller (AIC-7850). This combination worked flawlessly under 2.0.34, 2.0.35, and 2.1.125. Unfortunately, something happened either in 2.1.126 (which I didn't run), or 2.1.127 which broke SANE. If I do a preview, the scanner locks up about halfway down the page, and also locks the application. Under kernel 2.1.129 I actually had a system lock up after attempting to access the scanner again.
I have tried this using all the above kernel versions, and with SANE 0.74 and the recently released SANE 1.0. I don't know what is causing the problem, and the system logs do not indicate a problem. I suspect the problem may lie in the SCSI generic code in the kernel, or in the ever-changing Adaptec aic7xxx driver.
-- System information: Intel 440TX chipset with Pentium 233/MMX, 64 MB RAM, 3 IDE HDD's.
SCSI information: Adaptec 2910 (AIC-7850) ID 2 - Panasonic 7502B CD-R (internal) ID 4 - Iomega ZIP 100 (internal) ID 6 - UMAX Astra 610S Scanner --
If anyone has any insight into this issue, please let me know. Also, please CC: my email as I am not a kernel-list subscriber.
