Seems like it's just a conflict between the controller and the scanner because the other devices work ok. As it crashes anyway, with termination on the controller, try it without.
man sane-scsi only briefly refers to the ncr53c8xx controller in the context of 2.0 kernels. You could try setting the SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI variable to see if anything in the debug messages help. Also check sane-hp. LeeE Shawn D'Alimonte wrote: > > On November 19, 2000 08:20 am, you wrote: > > Does your kernel have scsi CD-ROM and generic support?
