The 6.0 kernel had the PROBE ALL LUNS option set in the SCSI configuration
section. We fixed that "feature" for 6.1. In essence, when we probe your
scanner for a lun higher than 0, it locks up the bus and won't work any
more. That's why DOS and SCSI Select fail afterwards, because the card
isn't what's hung, the scanner is. Anyway, get the 6.1 distro and things
should be fine.
