This scanner should work with the microtek backend, give or take few bug
fixes, I suppose. It's not listed as "working" because you are the
first person to ever mention it to me, working or non-working.
Try it again, but enable debugging output (instructions available on both
man-page and backend website), and send a log to <mtek-bugs@mir.com>.
Could you also tell me what the optical resolution of the scanner is?
The backend guesses 1950dpi; this is not information returned by the
scanner itself. If this is wrong, it could be the root of the problem.
One last thing: it's probably best to disable disconnect/reconnect for
the scanner -- this would be an option to the SCSI driver. It seems to
be enabled, from the log you sent. The aha152x is pretty lame about
timeouts and all; that's why you have to reboot the machine when it hangs.
(You're better off installing it as a module, but even then you have to
wait a long time before it will let you rmmod and re-insmod it.)
