[sane-devel] CanoScan LiDE 25

[Stephan]

Hello

I have read the previous threads on this scanner, and managed to obtain one of 
the above units. I would like to put some development time into getting this 
to work properly. Currently I'm facing the following problems:

With this patch 
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-July/014033.html)
applied, the scanner is properly detected. However

 - I can't do a scan at all. The scan starts up and the motor
    makes some alarmingly loud wining an grinding noises, at which point the
    lamp starts to move down the track, only to halt completely after moving
    only a few centimeters.
    At this point the lamp is still on, but no data is being read for some
    reason.

Here is a dump of the last couple of lines from running '#saned -d128', and 
initiating a scan from a remote host.

Any help or pointers in the right direction will be appreciated.

Cheers
