Hi sane people(s)!
I do not tend to clobber devellopers lists with user faq, but sane more
or less invited me to do so this time. I've RH 7.0 running on a 686,
i've a Umax Astra 1200S with this obscure SCSI-PCI-card (UDS-IS11/ISA
SCSI Controller Card i guess), and i don't quite get it working. Sadly
the documentation is contradictive (or else i fail to get the point).
After following most of the steps recommended in the FAQ, i rest up with
a /proc/scsi/scsi of
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00
Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1200S Rev: V2.8
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
when the scanner is on, so at least the card seems to communicate with
the kernel.
syslog messages say:
Dec 5 19:24:03 Cyrano kernel: scsi0 : interrupts not enabled. for
better interactive performance,
Dec 5 19:24:03 Cyrano kernel: scsi0 : please jumper the board for a
free IRQ.

Dec 5 22:30:42 Cyrano last message repeated 3 times
and
Dec 5 20:16:34 Cyrano modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module
char-major-81-[0-3]
The scanner even did react somewhat to scanimage, as it did move some up
and down but not writing anything 2 file, and xsane (?) from gimp says
module crashed.
Any other recommendations than 'buy a proper scsi card'?
