I doubt that will solve your problem it was just a shot in the dark
since you didn't say what was happening other than the scsi board
was recoginizing the scanner on multilple Luns.
However you can change the id of the device on the scanner itself
should have a jumper or thumbwheel switch to select the ID.
The suggestions to change it in the kernel to not support mulitple
Luns or if the scsi board can be configured not to recoginze mulitple
Luns are better suggestions.
As far as locking up your machine when trying to scan, it sounds as
though it still may have something to do with the problem.
