Kurt,
I don't think it's going to make any difference given all the attempts
you have made, but the last STABLE kernel is currently
2.2.14. Although, 2.3.99-pre3 has worked without failure for me with
the same scanner and a dual processor setup, but just figured if you
were really interested in trying the last stable kernel you might want
to know you had an error in your info. =)
Bradley =)
