[Apologies if you see this twice. I just noticed that there's a separate scsi mailing list. I had originally sent this to -current. If you have any hints, please email me as I'm not on -scsi but am on various other FreeBSD lists. Sorry for any inconvenience. --Parag]
I just moved my UMAX 600S scanner from my Mac to FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT
without CAM. It works with the latest sane-0.74 code (which is not yet
a port - 0.73 does not work properly for this scanner).
Anyway, I started getting a lot (20-50) of these errors from the SCSI
subsystem in the kernel whenever it scans an image:
uk1: unknown error category from host adapter code
After some debug-printfs, this is due to a select-timeout
(XS_SELTIMEOUT) presumably because the scanner is busy moving its scan
head back to the top or doing other house-keeping, and it isn't sending
back a proper busy code.
A quick-n-dirty patch to scsi/scsi_ioctl.c seems to eliminate this
message without causing any other effects:

break;
case XS_TIMEOUT:
+ case XS_SELTIMEOUT:
SC_DEBUG(xs->sc_link,SDEV_DB3,("timeout\n"));
screq->retsts = SCCMD_TIMEOUT;
break;
===================================================================
Is this OK, or is there a better fix (ie switch to CAM)?
The second problem is during boot-up. If the scanner is powered on
during boot, FreeBSD seems to think the scanner is at every SCSI
address. However, if I leave it powered offduring boot, then do a
"scsi -r" after the system is running, it probes the scanner properly
(at SCSI ID 4) with no bogus extra LUNs.

Perhaps the workaround is to simply switch to CAM? Since CAM isn't the
default yet, I was wondering if I should send-pr these two problems or
not.
Thanks in advance!
