scanner problem solved

[norman]

Having read and contributed to the correspondence on the non-working of
scanners in Ubuntu 7.04 and what to do about it, I sat back in my chair
to consider what had really changed, that I could see. What struck
non-techie me was the kernel had changed and everyone was saying that
the scanner problem was caused by the kernel. So, I decided to boot 7.04
using the 6.10 kernel and now my scanner works. The only thing which
does not function, as far as I can tell, is sound. My sound is on the
motherboard and if anyone has any ideas on how to get my sound back I
would be delighted.
