Hi,
well , I can't explain why modprobe can't be found or used....
You might go into the directory /sbin and check modprobe, as modprobe
is a soft-link to insmod, you might try:
rm /sbin/modprobe
ln -s /sbin/insmod /sbin/modprobe
This may help...
If the module is loaded (and here it is), you're scanner is detected.
After that step, you will need the device node
/dev/pt_drv
This node normally will be created within the makefile, but you can do this
manually (and as root, of course):
mknod -m /dev/pt_drv c 40 0
Now, scanimage -L should be able to find the scanner.
Hope this helps
Gerhard
