plustek: Thread: 9646T - probs to load module

Hello,

I've had some problems installing the driver for my Plustek Optic-Pro 9636T on
my SuSE 6.4 system.
Though I followed strictly the HOWTO by Alejandro Imass, I'm not able to load
the pt_drv - module. 
I tried to do this with the  plustek-sane-0_35 - and with the
plustek-sane-0_36_16 - version of the driver.

.................. 
Here is the output of lsmod - before trying to load the module:

Module                  Size  Used by
nfsd                  146188   4  (autoclean)

nls_iso8859-1           2268   2  (autoclean)

.....................

Here is the output when I try to load the module with "make -f Makefile load":

/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt

/lib/modules/misc/pt_drv.o: insmod pt_drv failed
make: *** [load] Error 1

.........................

Here the output of lsmod after trying to load the module:

parport_probe           3492   0  (autoclean)

nls_iso8859-1           2268   2  (autoclean) 

.......................

And finally the output of dmesg while trying to load the module:

parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
parport_probe: failed
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present


I would be very happy if you could help me.

Thank you,
Stefan

Sorry guys,

of course it is Plustek OpticPro 9636T not 9646T!

Best regards,
   Stefan

Stefan,

Try this to get it to load:

modprobe parport_pc

insmod -f pt_drv

Hello Mark,

still the same problem:

.........................
Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt
.........................


it says the device is busy, but I can't find why!


Bye,
   Stefan

Hello Mark,

still the same problem:

.........................
UUsing /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt
.........................


it says the device is busy, but I can't find out why!


Bye,
Stefan

Stefan,

Try:

modprobe -r pt_drv 

modprobe -r parport_pc

Then load up parport and pt_drv.

The original attempt to load usually hangs these up with "resource busy"
messages. Once they are unloaded then reloaded it clears up, at least
for me it does.

Mark

Hello Mark,

I'm really sorry, but still it says 

Using /lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: device or ressource is busy


Is it possible that there is something special to do at my SuSE 6.4?

Bye
Stefan

Stefan,

Last resort.

Delete the pt_drv in your modules directory. Delete the sane directory
and start again.

First off, I could not get the driver to work with Sane 1.0.2.  This
might have been due to some problems with my specific setup, but once I
switched to 1.0.1 things were much smoother.

I deleted all previous sane/plustek builds that I had tried.

1.  opened up sane1.0.1 (tar xvfz sane-1.0.1.tar.gz)
2.  copied the plustek tarball to the sane/backend directory (cp
plustek0.35.tgz sane-1.0.1/backend)
3.  opened the plustek driver up (tar xvfz plustek0.35.tgz)
4.  went back up to the sane directory (cd ../..)
5.  configured sane (CFLAGS="-g -O -Wall" ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local)
6.  made and installed sane w/plustek driver (make, make install, make
load). This is where I had trouble. The driver would not load this way

make load
make -f MakeKernel load
make[1]: Entering directory `/sane-1.0.1/backend/plustek_driver'
/sbin/modprobe pt_drv || exit 1
/lib/modules/2.2.14-15mdk/misc/pt_drv.o: init_module: Device or resource
busy
make[1]: *** [load] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sane-1.0.1/backend/plustek_driver'
make: *** [load] Error 2 

No joy.  Mainly what failed here was the creation of the /dev/pt_drv
that is essential to the driver operating.

/usr/local/bin/scanimage -L
[plustek] dev_open: can't open /dev/pt_drv as a device
[plustek] attach: open failed: Error during device I/O? 

7. This isn't a problem though. Just make the dev entry yourself 
(mknod /dev/pt_drv c 40 0).

8. Now load the driver with insmod -f pt_drv

/usr/local/bin/scanimage -L
device `plustek:/dev/pt_drv' is a Plustek 9636T Vers = 0.35 flatbed
scanner 

9. Scan to your heart's content.


All of this was performed as root. My box is a Mandrake 7.1 now (these
directions were written when it was a 7.0 installation, but it worked
the same when I upgraded), but it should work on a SUSE box as well.
I have not tried 0.36 yet so I can't vouch for these directions working
on that version.


I hope this works for you this time. If not I have to defer to Gerhard
to figure it out.

Hi Stefan,

please enable the debug messages in the driver module!
- Dive into directory backend/plustek_driver
- Open the Makefile and uncomment the line #DEBUG=y
- call make to rebuild the driver and make install to install it
- load the driver - make load
- then grab the system messages, by using dmesg and
send me that stuff.

I also have a SuSE 6.4 and I used to configure sane
(after untarring the driver tar-ball) with the following

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
