SCSI Scanner not recognised

Hi, Since upgrading to 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2 my scanner is inoperative. It is an SCSI Epson Perfection 1200. Xsane and Xscanimage cannot find a scanner: KDE control centre SCSI info shows it as a "processor". When I try to add the scanner through YAST 1 it tells me that the device i have selected does not appear to be a scanner. The Epson is connected through the advansys module which correctly id's my cdwriter Any clues would be most welcome:) -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
