Many thanks for the input folks, I have just managed to boot the server
and get scan data over the network without any further intervention so I
will consider it a success for now and go home.
For the record I put the following at the end of /etc/modules.conf
"alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x"
"options scsi_hostadapter io=0x340 irq=11"
and just to make sure I put "modprobe scsi_hostadapter" into the start
script of /etc/init.d/sane which gets executed when entering runlevel 3
just to set permissions on the scan device. I don't know if this latter
was really needed but I'll test that tomorrow.
Thanks again
Tony

Have you tried passing the interrupt and io address settings as arguments to modprobe? i.e. "modprobe aha152x irq=11, io=0x340" It is better to debug modules from the command line using "modprobe" (to load) and "rmmod" (to remove modules). Once you have found the correct parameters to pass to modprobe you can modify "/etc/modules.conf". You shouldn't really have to modify boot.local to load modules, all the configuration should be done in "/etc/modules.conf" It may be worth while reading the documentation on the device driver. Have a look at "/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README.aha152x". Also see "/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt". best regards....

I still have one major problem. The scanner (epson GT9500) has an old ISA SCSI card. I have not been able to figure out a way of getting the Linux box to load the kernel module for the scsi card (aha152x) automatically so I am reduced to the command line - modprobe aha152x . Tried putting this in boot.local but just succeeded in disabling ethernet when it rebooted!! Don't ask me how that happened, the only connection I can think of is that they are both isa cards. Module confuse me -- any ideas welcome Running on SuSE 8.1 Cheers Tony
