when i run sane-find-scanner
# Note that sane-find-scanner will find any scanner that is 
connected
# to a SCSI bus and some scanners that are connected to the 
Universal
# Serial Bus (USB) depending on your OS. It will even find 
scanners
# that are not supported at all by SANE. It won't find a 
scanner that
# is connected to a parallel or proprietary port.

i do have messages in /var/log/messages
when i run 
sane-find-scanner 
i get 

Dec  6 07:40:25 fergusson last message repeated 3 times 6 
07:41:40 fergusson kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us 
more data than expected - discarding data 6 07:41:40 fergusson

when i run scanimage --list-device

fergusson modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-

I hope i have given enough info - looks like i have some 
problem in my scsi module ?(me being far from expert)
