I have now tried with Hardy, with strange results. It worked sometimes, but other times (still) the cracking noise appeared. Now I tested it more thoroughly so I'm not sure if anything has changed. In year 2007 it seemed not to work at all, but then I didn't "push" it as hard as this time.

I tried Ubuntu Hardy RC 8.04 Live CD for four cold boots and also disconnected the scanner while the machine was down.

Scanner worked most of the time, but on every boot with enough tries it made the cracking noise at least once. With two boots it was the first try it made the noise. Then I closed the xsane and tried again and it worked, but whithin about 20 scans it made the noise again.

I also tried to disconnect the scanner and plug it to other USB-port while machine was running (xsane was not) and it didn't change a thing.
