Time to see the relavent parts from "dmesg" and "lsmod"... if original dmesg
bootup stuff has been overwritten, then check /var/log/dmesg (samples below)

I wouldn't put much stock in HardDrake... while it sees my SCSI devices (4 HDs,
2 tapes, 1 scanner), it doesn't see the SCSI adapter itself...
What my /var/log/dmesg has:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
aha152x: BIOS test: passed, auto configuration: ok, detected 1 controller(s)
aha152x: resetting bus...
aha152x0: vital data: rev=1, io=0x340 (0x340/0x340), irq=9, scsiid=7,
reconnect=enabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=enabled, delay=1000, extended
translation=disabled
aha152x0: trying software interrupt, ok.
scsi0 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 2.4 $
(scsi0:5:0) Synchronous Data Transfer Request was rejected
Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 2400S Rev: V1.4
Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
and from lsmod:
sr_mod 14720 0 (autoclean) (unused)
sg 29680 0 (autoclean)
st 27024 0 (unused)
ide-scsi 8224 0
aha152x 32556 5
sd_mod 11540 5
scsi_mod 95548 6 [sr_mod sg st ide-scsi aha152x sd_mod]
^^ ^^^^^^^
In this case, scsi_mod lists the other modules that use it; sg and aha152x are
the important ones for my scanner...
HTH,
Pierre
