Make sure the driver is installed, i.e. is shown in /proc/scsi. Usually there are at least 3 dirs: /proc/ide-scsi /proc/sg /proc/<your-card's-driver> and 1 file /proc/scsi Also check if the scanner is powered on at boot and properly terminated. You should be able to check that the SCSI devices are recognized without = booting by rmmod/isnmod the driver-module (if it's compiled as a module).
