Is your scanner on a physical SCSI interface? Looks like it is SCSI based on your previous email. While trying to determine my problem I caused the SCSI bus to go offline several times. All the SCSI devices on that bus disappeared, of course. If that seems to be the problem then shut down the machine, boot back up, then immediately run sane-find-scanner (or "cdrecord -scanbus" or "cat /proc/scsi/scsi") as root. If you still don't see the scanner then something else is obviously wrong. If you see the devices and everything seems like it should be working correctly then check permissions on the /dev/sg* devices. Permissions are probably 0660 owned by root.disk. So, add users who need SCSI generic access to the "disk" group (then logout and login so it takes effect for you). Maybe /usr/sbin/saned was set uid root in RH9? /dev/sg* probably should be added to console.perms. Or if it's already in there then the permissions probably need some tweaking. Something isn't quite right for sure. I've not looked at Bugzilla to see if there's any mention of this. > >From system log: kernel: scsi1: AdvanSys SCSI 3.3G: PCI Ultra: IO 0x2000-0x200F, IRQ 0x3. kernel:Vendor: UMAX Model: PL-II Rev:V1.5 Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02. kernel: Attached scsi generic sg1 at scsi1, channel 0, id 5, lun 0, type 6. kernel: scsi: 1 host left. > > In /proc/scsi/ there are: dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 28 ide-scsi, -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 28 scsi, dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 28 sg.

You should see all SCSI devices under subdirectories of /proc/scsi Here's my list of SCSI devices. scsi0 00,06,00 is a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 5P SCSI scanner and scsi4 00,00,00 is a Microtek Slimscan C6 USB scanner.
