When attempting to scan a document using xsane 0.86 and the umax sane-backend I get kernel panic and must reboot. If I use the command line scanimage option I can succesfully scan the document. I cannot find any relevant info in the kernel logs. I emerged xsane 0.90 but it also caused this problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run xsane 2.set scan mode to color 3.click start button Actual Results: scanner attempts to scan the page, appears to finish then kernel panic. Expected Results: scanned the document and allowed to save the image Gentoo 1.4, kde 3.11, aic7xxx scsi driver loaded as a module, umax vista s6 scsi scanner, gentoo sources kernel 2.4.20 r2 with preemptive patch and low latency. nvidia geforce2 vid card.
i really dont know why this was assigned to me, i dont know much about scanners or X!
Could we have a register dump please? Also, what version of sane-backends are you using?
can you try to get some more info from the panic? how about trying this with a vanilla kernel.
I recently upgraded to the latest xsane and sane backends. they work beautifully. there fore I am closing this bug.
