Hi all:
I want to thank all who have repied and helped me with all my problems. The 
help and support here has been super. The problems are now all corrected and 
all is working normally. The problems lie in the /etc/modules.autoload file 
containing one typo. The word emu10k1 had two u's. Also my kernel config had 
sr_mod and sg compiled in. They were not modules. So I removed them from the 
/etc/modules.autoload file. Also the /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file that I 
thought I had edited for the usb scanner turned out to not be edited. So that 
has corrected all the system problems. I have tested sound, scanner, and 
DVD/CD-ROM and CD/RW's they read data disk's and eject works on both. Again 
thanks for all your help.
