plustek: Thread: Problems load module w. SuSE7.3 @ Kernel 2.4.16

Hello!

I own a Plustek OpticPro4800P and scanned with my elder SuSE system (7.2, 
IIRC) Now I want to plug it at my newer system, SuSE7.3 with Kernel 
2.4.16-4GB (the one upgraded from the SuSE homepage)

Compilation of the driver 0.41-6 gave warnings concerning deprecated 
linux/malloc.h. As the loading of the module failed, I changed the end of 
h/plustek_sysdep.h to 

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < VERSION_CODE(2,4,16)
#  include "linux/malloc.h"
#  define _GET_TIME get_fast_time
#else
#  include "linux/slab.h"
#  define _GET_TIME do_gettimeofday
#endif

Afterwards, the compilation gave no warnings, but modprobe failed, too.
The ouput of 'insmod -vs pt_drv.o' is

So what's wrong (I assumed that the driver does not recognize the scanner 
model, so I changed the options to mov=6)?
Oh, my /etc/modules.conf

pre-install pt_drv modprobe -k parport
options pt_drv lampoff=180 warmup=15 port=0x378 lOffonEnd=0 mov=6 slowIO=0 
forceMode=0

Hi Christof,

the scanner (the ASIC of it) has been detected correctly!
The problem is the memory test, that checks the data-transfers
in EPP mode. This does not work! You may paly around with the
BIOS settings for the parport (set it to SPP or EPP) and/or play around
with slowIO=1 parameter...

Hope this helps
  Gerhard

Ich have the same Problem here. My parport [1] must be set to SPP mode (vie 
forceMode=1), or the memory won't be detected, sometimes the driver also 
detects an 600 (I have a 9630P). Nevertheless, ca. every 2. image is 
corrupted..
