[Solved by itself] Loading module aha152x failed after kernel upgrade

Hi all,

I have a ten-year old Epson GT5500 scanner plugged onto an ISA card.

This was quite hard to get it working under linux but it worked well untill yesterday last update.

I have the following error output when trying to load aha152x module:

# modprobe aha152x
FATAL: Error inserting aha152x (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152x.ko): No such device

I have the following line in /etc/modules.conf:

alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9

How can I get the scanner back to work?

Thanks.

Did you build the module yourself?  If so you might have to rebuild it for the new kernel version.

No. The configuration to get the scanner working under linux comes from a how-to and remains valid after kernel upgrades -- until yesterday. It does not need any module building, only loading.

The reason I asked is because I can't find the aha152x module anywhere on my system, so I assumed you had to build it yourself at some stage...  Sorry, no idea what could be the problem.

No more problem after this morning boot... Hu?

I don't know what happened. Maybe the first boot after kernel upgrade, or what?

The good news is that the old scanner still has a long future, yeah 8-)
