[sane-devel] problems with 2.6.10 kernel

[bil@beeb.net]

Hi,
I've been using xsane on my IBM Thinkpad for quite a while with no problems.
Running kernel 2.6.7 until last week when I upgraded to 2.6.10.
I now find that (x)sane is unable to locate my scanner - 
and Epsom Perfection 1240U. Looking into it further I find that the
usbdevfs fails to mount at boot-up, although my usb mouse is working
fine. The error message in the log says 'usbdevfs not supported in kernel'.
I have checked the .config file and there is an entry:
#define USB_DEVICEFS=y
which I presume is the relevant one. Can anyone suggest anything that
I can check, or, if this is not the right place to ask, which e-mail
list is relevant?

Many thanks,
Bill
