Hi,

I did set up my old scanner canon FB630U with Yast2 (SuSE . After that I could 
scan with Xscanimage and Xsane, excellent quality scans.

Then, after the first reboot, I cannot scan anymore. 
Message in Xsane or Xscanimage is "Failed to start scanner, Device busy"
in /var/log/messages there are 7 lines with
"...kernel: scanner.c: open_scanner(7): Unable to access minor data".

I verified all settings (according to Wolfi's guideline posted here some time 
ago). usbview shows the scanner, lsmod shows that scanner is loaded etc.

I'm scared this is a sign of poor USB support by the MSI K7N2G nforce2 mobo 
I'm using. However I had thesame error before, with an older MSI K7 mobo, and 
no nforce2 yet.

The scanner works fine with my notebook, also SuSE 8.1.

Any ideas how to fix this are highly appreciated. 

Thanks, Matt T.
(yes, my next scanner will be an Epson only)
