I have *been* successfully using my scanner in Linux. I have an Agfa Snapscan 310 (SCSI) and it worked fine with the Gimp and SANE. Recently, however, it has just stopped responding. I go to 'preview' and the scanner light starts blinking and never stops until I switch off the scanner. I am currently using Gimp 1.0.4-1 and SANE 0.74-2. The most recent version of SANE (1.00-1) has *never* worked for me.
I am assuming something has broken SANE - most likely with recent kernel compilations. I am currently using 2.2.6 on Debian 2.0. The scanner is successfully recognised on bootup: May 4 21:13:15 scgf kernel: aha152x: processing commandline: ok May 4 21:13:15 scgf kernel: aha152x: BIOS test: passed, detected 1 controller(s) May 4 21:13:15 scgf kernel: aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x140, IRQ=9, SCSI ID=7, reconnect=enabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=100, extended translation=disabled May 4 21:13:15 scgf kernel: aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.

Please tell me if you spot anything wrong here. I did upgrade to Slink using an official Debian CD - do you think something broke here? The trouble is I just can't remember at what stage the scanner worked - was it before I upgraded to Debian 2.1, before I upgraded to the 2.2 kernel, oh hell!!! Incidently I booted into Windows 98 and the scanner worked perfectly well. Any help would be *very* much appreciated. Take care. -- Phillip Deackes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Linux v.2.1
