Installed a new Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner recently. All went well after Epson Iscan was installed. Successfully used Iscan, Kooka, XScanImage, and GIMP w/plugin. Now every time I reboot, the module is not loaded, and I have to reinstall the scanner with Yast (it is not shown as an installed or configured scanner). Looked at sysconfig: It showed the scanner module in "Hotplug_USB_Modules_To_Unload". After clearing this entry there is no change. Should I leave this entry alone? The scanner is automatically powered on at reboot during "detecting hotplug devices".
To get the scanner to work I have to load the module manually with insmod, then reinstall the scanner with Yast, every time.
Please point me in the right direction.
TIA

Bernd, You can add this to your /etc/init.d/boot.local file to load your module early in the boot process. /sbin/modprobe scanner That should take care of the module for the scanner. Be sure your USB modules are being loaded as well and you should be off and running ok.
