This is most likely caused by a bug in SANE 1.0.3 and
1.0.4 which sets timeouts on commands to 10 seconds
rather than 10 minutes. The SANE code detects the new
sg driver in lk 2.4.x and mistakenly shortens the
timeout. This has been fixed in SANE's CVS (and
RedHat's 7.1 beta (fisher)).
Fix for SANE 1.0.4 : in file
sane-backends-1.0.4/sanei/sanei_scsi.c change line 1893
from:
req->sgdata.sg3.hdr.timeout = 10000;
to
req->sgdata.sg3.hdr.timeout = 10 * 60 * 1000;
If you look at the FAQ on the sg web site
( http://www.torque.net/sg ) under the SANE entry you will
find the same information ...
