hi,
im trying to connect my HP 5300C scanner to the 2.4.2-2 linux kernel via
parallel port. I applied the patch (attached) linux-ppscsi.patch to the
kernel using "patch p0 < linux-ppscsi.patch" and then "make menuconfig"
"make dep" "make modules" .... this is where it breaks:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
my questions are:
1) why is "make modules" breaking? any clues?
2) am I on the right path? do i need to recompile the kernel?
3) the HP5300C is connected to the parallel port. am on on the right track
with the ppscsi patch?
4) any advice or hints or success stories using the HP 5300C? (the HP5100C &
HP5200C are reported to work well)
im not sure what additional debugging info would be useful to supply. let me
know what would help and ill be happy to provide it.
thanks in advance,
fernando pando
