Thanks for the answer. I checked cdrecord-scanbus and it shows nothing but my cdrecorder and my dvd-rom - no scanner is found. Now I think I have found the main problem and a possible solution, but it doesn't work until now. The problem is the 'Symbios Logic 53c400A (HP Version) SCSI Adapter' and there is a solution described in a 'Readme.g_NCR5380'. This adapter should work after a 'modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1' or 'modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=254 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1'. I tried both versions (ncr_irq=254 and ncr_irq=255), but both result a frozen screen. In a forum I found the answer that the given parameters (maybe ncr_irq, ncr_addr??) are maybe wrong and then screen freeze as a result. But I haven't got the right parameters. Any solution to get the right parameters from the system? Or does this adapter/card work at anybody's system (my system: SuSE Linux 8.0)?
Sounds like the *best* ?? solution would be to purchase an inexpensive compatible SCSI card and go from there. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
