Installation problem with Adaptec 29160

Hi,
I have the same problem with my AGFA studioscanIIsi. Did you solve your problem? Starting with the older kernel the scanner works. So Ithink its a bug in 7.10.

I did't solve my problem yet. One man say that I need to turn off option "test all LUNs" or somethik like that in kernel's config and recompile kernel. I'll try soon and write result.

hello,

I disabled with xconfig "probe all luns....." in the kernel setup.

No effect!

Any other ideas?

hi all !!
Recompiled kernel works good with scanner. Only one Agfa Arcus II. :)))
This page helped me to recompile kernel http://www.howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way

in makemenuconfig in Device drivers-> SCSI device support , uncheck option "Probe all LUNs"

what is it?

Installation problem with Adaptec 29160
hi all ^_^
I am using the Adaptec 29160 SCSI card.
It works fine in SuSE 10.1, but i will move to Ubuntu 7.10.
The installation stops very early into a busybox. I've no exactly information about the reason but i think it's the Controller 29160.
Is there anybody which have experience with these Controller in combination with kubuntu 7.10.
The Busybox contains a reference to a file kernel-parameters.txt but i did'nt find this file inside Installation-DVD or inside Laptop-Installation.
I'm looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

I didn't ask this question. My problem was "too many scsi scanners found" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/172433

bugs in site engine?

Hi,

I am a linux "beginner". I disabled the optin "probe all LUNs" with
xconfig and then saved the setting. It do not help. Is it necessary to
make the whole procedure described in your link?

thanks,

bernd

you need to compile new kernel, xconfig have no effect without compilation.

install package linux-surce

go to /usr/src and unpack this package by typing sudo tar xjvf linux-source<version>.tar.bz2

you'll get new folder, go in it

type sudo make menuconfig

uncheck Probe all LUN's
save new settings and exit

type sudo make-kpkg clean

type sudo make-kpkg --append-to-version=.mynewkernel kernel_image --initrd binary

after compilation you'll get new *.deb package in /usr/src

in folder /usr/src type sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.8.1.mynewkernel_10.00.Custom_i386.deb (use your .deb package name)

reboot

type uname -a to make sure that you use new kernel

if makemenuconfig don't work, type sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
