Help,
I have an HP 5P scanner plugged into an qlogic scsi card.  It has stopped 
working!  I can't remember the last time it did work.  I am using kubuntu 9:10 
with the latest kernel updates etc.  I know that the sg module is now built 
into the kernel but something is going wrong and I do not know how to fix 
things.
The scsi card is recognised and appears when I "lspci"

-- 01:01.0 SCSI storage controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 53c974 
[PCscsi] (rev 10)

The driver for the scanner is correctly selected as tmscsim and this gets 
inserted automatically.  dmesg has the following connected with it.

[    2.060366] DC390: clustering now enabled by default. If you get problems 
load
[    2.060370]        with "disable_clustering=1" and report to maintainers
[    2.066283] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 19
[    2.066290]   alloc irq_desc for 19 on node 0
[    2.066292]   alloc kstat_irqs on node 0
[    2.066303] tmscsim 0000:01:01.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 19 (level, 
low) -> IRQ 19
[    2.697640] DC390_init: No EEPROM found! Trying default settings ...
[    2.697646] DC390: Used defaults: AdaptID=7, SpeedIdx=0 (10.0 MHz), 
DevMode=0x1f, AdaptMode=0x2f, TaggedCmnds=3 (16), DelayReset=1s
[    2.698698] scsi6 : Tekram DC390/AM53C974 V2.1d 2004-05-27
[    2.699678] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 18
[    2.699683]   alloc irq_desc for 18 on node 0
[    2.699686]   alloc kstat_irqs on node 0

[    5.665907] DC390: OLD Sync Nego code triggered! (6 0)

Then that's as good as it gets.  
If I do a 'lsscsi -g'
the scanner does not appear.  It appears as though something is going wrong 
with the tmscsim module.  I do not know where to go from here.
Any help would be appreciated.
