I'm having the following problem with my scanner under 2.6.0 It connects through SCSI and a USB bridge. I do the following steps: 1. Power everything up; 2. modprobe usb-storage 3. modprobe sg 4. sane-find-scanner runs fine and can see the scanner; 5. scanimage locks the machine up hard -- sometimes magic SysRq gets me out, sometimes it doesn't.
After a reboot, I see no errors in the syslog. Anyone know how to debug this, or a better configuration? I'd really appreciate it. Meanwhile, I'm going to try patching the kernel up to the latest.

Yippeee. The newest kernel works quite happily with it. I guess it was one of the SCSI lock-up problems in early 2.6 test releases that I'd heard about.
I still have the problem of needing to modprobe by hand, as the module-init-tools don't seem to allow the magic line post-install usb-storage echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 2 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi into the config. I guess I should be using udev+sysfs for this. All hints gleefully accepted.
