Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.8-13
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Hi,
I have an old HP ScanJet 6100C scanner. Either the
lamp is dim, the mirrors or dirty, or the scanner
is broken. It once worked with more or less the current
hardware configuration on a RedHat 7.2 system but
gradually took longer and longer to initiate a
scan. (I've since removed a zip drive from the
scsi bus with the scanner attached and added
some drives to a different scsi bus on another
controller.) When I switched to Debian and went
to the 3.6 kernel it seemed the module would not
take the combination ioport and irq jumper settings
I've configured, although I could have been
doing something wong. So, the Adaptec card
has been unused for a while. I've now tried to get
the scanner, and hence the Adaptec card, to work again
and it hangs my system. After a delay the system does
not respond to mouse, keyboard, or ping.
The Adaptec 1524 card has an odd jumpering,
and is scsi bus 1, not zero, (see below)
but it used to work in this configuration
and the scanner scanned then too.

Now, because I don't know how to configure modules
in 2.6 I manually install the aha152x module.
# modprobe aha152x io=0x340 irq=10 sync=0
This works. (Note: problem still occurs if "sync=0"
is left off.) The scanner hums a bit as it
is detected on the bus.
# dmesg | tail -n 18
aha152x: BIOS test: passed, 1 controller(s) configured

Again, because I don't know how to handle device
permissions...
# chgrp scanner /dev/sg4
Then, as an ordinary user I start up xsane. The scanner
is detected, I press the preview button. The scanner
hums and the light goes on. It appears as
though the scanner resets and warms up,
or attempts to. Maybe a minute
or so later the system stops responding to
keyboard events, mouse events, and pings.
Maybe a minute after that the scanner hums
some more and the light goes off, seemingly
the scanner goes back to "off" having
reset the scanning bed to the "off" position.
The system remains unresponsive. I keep
trying for maybe 5 minutes.
I hit the power button and cut power.
I have not played around much during the interval
between starting the scan and the hang. The
system seems responsive and "normal".
Eventually, I'll probably clean the mirrors or
replace the lamp in the scanner to make it work.
Meanwhile it seems best to fix the system hang
first.
FYI, I don't trust the Yahama cd drive that's
the other device on the bus.
FYI, system has 1GB RAM
