Bad cable? broken scanner? bad software installation? ineffable mystery? When attempting to scan with HP 6270A, light bar seems to hang up. xsane gives this error: "Error during read: "Error during device I/O" with /var/log/messages Mar 7 15:41:55 fmsb7 kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Read (6) 00 00 80 00 00 Mar 7 15:41:55 fmsb7 kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi1, channel 0, id 3, lun 0 Read (6) 00 00 80 00 00 Mar 7 15:41:56 fmsb7 kernel: SCSI host 1 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting Mar 7 15:41:56 fmsb7 kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0. but permissions are OK, and sgcheck shows: 8 root% sgcheck Assignment of generic SCSI devices, device host/channel/ID/LUN type(numeric type) vendor model: ... /dev/sg4 1/0/3/0 Processor HP C6270A ... Is there a software solution to determine if cable is the problem? I can't connect scanner hd50 scsi-2 adapter directly to computer hd68 scsi-3. jim bennett jbennett@syr.edu
