umax 2200 scsi no go under SuSE-8.2

Hi everyone. After an upgrade from SuSE 8.1 to 8.2 my umax 2200 freezes the system hard after xsane preview: Here are the messages: Jun 24 12:24:24 sbs3 resmgr[748]: accepted connection from user steve Jun 24 12:24:24 sbs3 xsane: resmgr: server response code 502 Jun 24 12:24:24 sbs3 resmgr[748]: disconnect from steve Jun 24 12:24:37 sbs3 kernel: (scsi0:A:5:0): refuses synchronous negotiation. Using asynchronous transfers The permissions on /dev/sg0 are global rw. I have an Adaptec 2904 (sic) card and everything was fine under 8.1. Can anyone help? Thanks, Steve.
