[Sheflug] SCSI Scanner possible conflict

["richard davies" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just moved my scanner over to a new box and I think that I may be having problems with a conflict between the CD Burner and the scanner. The system is running Linux Mandrake 8.1 and has a Lite-On atapi CD burner and an agfa snapscan scanner.

The following is the response I get from the system:-
Just booting the system only finds the CD
Modprobe throws errors that I don't understand but does seem to load the module even though it gives an error message.
Checking SCSI now shows the scanner installed
sane-find-scanner correctly identifies the scanner
scanimage says no sane devices.
Sane backend points to /dev/sg1
changed permissions on /dev/sg1 to 777 just in case but makes no difference.

SCSI
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor LITE-ON Model: LTR 12101B        Rev:  LKU6
  Type:  CD ROM                           ANSI SCSI Revsion: 02

modprobe aha15*

/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha1542.o.gz: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha1542.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha1542.o.gz failed

sane-find-scanner

sane-find-scanner: found scanner "AGFA SNAPSCAN 1236 1.50" at device /dev/sg1

scanimage

scanimage: no SANE devices found

The backend does indeed point to /dev/sg1
