After searching for a solution, I am posting this hoping that someone has found an answer and can point me in the right direction:
I have been searching for someone that has been successful at installing a Microtec 3600 scanner with the newer FC6 kernel. It is listed on my machine, and all of the front ends both see the scanner and identify in correctly...but when I try to scan either from xsane or from a terminal the scanner lights up and the motor just chatters like it is not being given a command to increment its location -- sort of an endless loop. The only way to stop it is to close the program (then I am told that the program has stopped responding), or to issue a control-c command from the terminal window if that is where the scan was started.
The scanner itself worked fine under windoze so it is not a hardware issue, and I have located a couple of posts that mentioned the usb library, but other usb devices (including a Sony Camera and a memory stick) all work fine.
I have read the man pages and explored the sane project web site with out finding any reverences to this specific problem, and from what I have learned the sane backend was working in previous versions of Fedora so I am assuming that this is just a problem with tne newer kernel...though I may be wrong.
Any suggestions would truly be appreciated
