    I had similar problems with older Linux kernels. There is a paragraph
    in README.linux:

    Adaptec 1542 SCSI adapter:
      Using buffer sizes of more than 32768 bytes with the aha1542 driver can
      lead to kernel panic. To avoid this, set --enable-scsibuffersize or
      SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE to 32768, or download and install the SG driver
      2.1.37 or newer from http://www.torque.net/sg.

    Further more there is a comment about that in man sane-scsi.

    I has the same problems (sometimes) with the 2940. But after upgrading
    to Linux 2.2.17 the problems seem to be fixed.

    As a work around decrease the scsi buffer size to 32 kb.

    Bye,
      Henning
