AFAIK This was fixed in SANE 1.0.1, wasn't it? Anyone?
If you are running SANE 1.0.0 then you need to upgrade anyway, because
SANE 1.0.0 has too many known bugs not to be scared of it.
Since you only have one removed device, you can avoid shuffling by
re-ordering the SCSI IDs on the two devices. IIRC Just making the
scanner say, ID 3 and the CD-burner ID 5 will be enough to make the
scanner stay on /dev/sga all the time.
Finally, there is a LIST in that configuration file, so just LIST all
the devices which might be a scanner. It will surely reject any that
don't appear to be HP PROCESSOR class devices.
