Hi,
I have tried inside out and backwards to get sane-1.0.2 to work on
an old dual Pentium Pro PR440FX motherboard to no avail. I believe it
is a kernel problem NOT a sane problem. I tried with kernel 2.3.19
(the last stable kernel) and find-scanner could not find the scanner.
I checked with the permissions and they were set fine. I tried with
SMP and single processor kernels. Building was not a problem.
The executables were where they were supposed to be.
I then used the 2.3.99-pre1 and pre3 kernels and made progress with
find-scanner being able to find the H-P 6300C scanner on the AIC7880
controller. Using scanimage -L the machine gives me what looks like a
stack trace for some sort of failure. This occurs with either an SMP or
uniprocessor kernel. I'm going to wait and see what happens when the
new
2.4 distribution comes out. I'm currently using Slack 7.0.
In the meantime I have a FIC-2013 with a K6-3 450Mhz and 2mb L2 cache
and
an AHA-2940UW scsi controller I can try to use to get sane and xsane
working
with this scanner.
Incidentally, Winblows 98 (on a single cpu) did work with the scanner
with
the bundled software they provided. My main complaint is I hated the
image manipulation software. It was lousy! I was scanning under
WinBlows
and then importing to Linux so I could use XV and GIMP.
Best regards,
Kurt Savegnago
