Hi everyone,

I have set my UMAX Astra 2200 scanner under Suse 6.3 yet I have one
small step left. That is loading the scsi module automatically thru the
modules.conf file.

When I read the Scanner under Linux titled document in the support
database of suse I thought ok, I solved it. However there is a small
confusion.

I am using a IDE-ATAPI CDWriter which is ide-scsi emulation.
The kernel has already generic scsi support and finds my cd-writer

csi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 1 host.
  Vendor: RICOH     Model: CD-R/RW MP7060A   Rev: 1.70
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
scsi : detected 1 SCSI generic total.

however my umax scanner is not found. That is not a big problem because
I want to access the scanner when the ened arises and if that module is
installed when I want and removed when I am done I think that is better.

part 5 of the document suggests using a pre-install followed by 
post-install line added to the modules.conf

pre-install sg modprobe advansys (in my case that should be tmscsim)
alias char-major-21   sg  
post-install sg echo "add single device 1 0 1 0" >/proc/scsi/scsi (in my
case that would be  1 0 5 0)

Here is the part I don't understand, if I have already the generic scsi
support in the kernel and I am
able to use the cdwriter what I understand is I have sg module already.
when I tried the above xsane says no scanning device available.

What am I missing any ideas

thx
