[sane-devel] Problems on Ultra SPARC

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
following a discussion with Henning Meier Geinitz I point this question
directly to the list, maybe there is someone out there who can tell what is
going wrong.
I have a Scanner (Mustek Paragon 600 CD) connected to the scsi-bus of a Sun
Sparc. (Ultra 360 SMP). Alll SCSI devices work as they are expected to. The
termination is as required (tested). However, even though the scanner is found
during boot of the scsi-controller (I have tested two different controllers
with two different configurations), sane always reports that there is no
scanner.
According to the recommendations of Henning I used the highest possible
debug-level:
SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255 sane-find-scanner -v -v
the result of this command may be found within the attachement of this email.
The device is opened correctly, but then there is an error with the ongoing
commands.
It must be noted that the architecture is 64 bit; in contrast, the userland is
compiled 32 bit 
(using the command "sparc32 rpm -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/sane.spec") to
generate a rpm for sane. I am using sane 1.0.8 "as is" from SuSE (what is the
distribution that I choosed). Anybody out there having any idea on how to
proceed? Maybe something related to big endian / little endian issues? Maybe
sane thinks that the system is 64 bit even though it is living in a 32 bit
environment? Any known issues with SMP?
Many many thanks for any suggestions,
take care & a happy new year



Dieter

(SuSE linux @ 2.4.20 SMP kernel (vanilla, tested different ones with the same
result), sane 1.08, Scanner MUSTEK Paragon 600 CD, Adaptec 29160 SCSI -
controller or the internal Symbios Logic xx875' controller, both giving the
same results. Yast finds the scanner and tells the right device /dev/sgX, sane
does not.
