Thanks for the answer. I checked cdrecord-scanbus and it shows nothing but my 
cdrecorder and my dvd-rom - no scanner is found.
Now I think I have found the main problem and a possible solution, but it 
doesn't work until now. The problem is the 'Symbios Logic 53c400A (HP 
Version) SCSI Adapter' and there is a solution described in a 
'Readme.g_NCR5380'. This adapter should work after a 'modprobe g_NCR5380 
ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1' or 'modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=254 
ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1'. I tried both versions (ncr_irq=254 and 
ncr_irq=255), but both result a frozen screen. In a forum I found the answer 
that the given parameters (maybe ncr_irq, ncr_addr??) are maybe wrong and 
then screen freeze as a result. But I haven't got the right parameters. Any 
solution to get the right parameters from the system? Or does this 
adapter/card work at anybody's system (my system: SuSE Linux 8.0)?
