THANKS to all who guided me to the "bin86" package for compiling my kernel. It seems to have worked... for the most part.
I have three more questions and I hope you'll have the patience to respond: 1) I recompiled the kernel for generic SCSI support (for my HP Scanjet 5p scanner). During bootup, it now seems to get detected: Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi : 1 host. Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Vendor: IBM Model: DORS-32160W Rev: WA6A Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Vendor: HP Model: C5110A Rev: 3638 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Type: Processor ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: Detected scsi generic sg1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 5, lun 0 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi0: Target 0: Queue Depth 28, Wide Synchronous at 20.0 MB/sec, offset 15 Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi0: Target 5: Queue Depth 3, Asynchronous Sep 7 18:13:58 navi kernel: scsi : detected 2 SCSI generics 1 SCSI disk total. But when I look in /dev/, I don't see an "sg1" (and it's useless to have /dev/scanner symlinked to a nonexistent "sg1"). What's going on here? Consequently, when I run "scanimage", I get "no SANE devices found". And when I run "find-scanner", nothing happens. Even "xscanimage" returns "no devices available". Any ideas?
