a couple questions:

previously, my scanner connected via scsi (the driver only worked with scsi), could be detected by sane-find-scanner if I simply removed the aic7xxx kernel module, then re-injected it (ie, 'modprobe -r aic7xxx' then 'modprobe aic7xxx' then 'sane-find-scanner'). Now I have to reboot for it to be detected. What's up?

Second: I have an /etc/modprobe.conf file, and get a deprecation error that it belongs in /etc/modprobe.d/. How do I migrate? The modprobe.conf file has configs for a bunch of different modules (alsa, etc).

Thanks,

EE

No idea about your scanner problem. Are you configuring the kernel differently than you used to before?

oh. Well, that's easier than I thought. Thanks.

With the scanner: the only recent change was changing the computer case. I honestly can't say what else I've changed (besides regular updates to software). However, maybe it's something with hald? or dbus? I've been having problems configuring it properly.

Thanks,
