Hello again,
Bradley was right. I fired up my old 2.2.13 kernel I had lying around
on my dos partition using loadlin and viola' xsane actually came right up
when I clicked on GIMP .18! WOW. I tried to do 1.0.4 and did have the link
on the machine but it didn't come up. The machine at least did not lock
up so I was able to go back to .18.
I actually was right about the kernel code being the issue as I guess
the later kernels aren't as stable on my particular motherboard. Well I
can start to fine tune to settings and get off to scanning. The H-P
6300 under scsi is really pretty good. I just have to get it right so
it doesn't take 20mb to store one image. (Yeah I know I can fix-it
under GIMP or XV)
Best regards,
Kurt Savegnago
