I am pretty sure that you can use the stock kernel with
SCSI scanners. SuSE's YaST does have an option to install
a scanner, so I guess they have all the necessary modules
pre-compiled and installed. (SuSE's installation is modules
based). You need a module for the SCSI controller and for
generic SCSI devices.
I usually run a SuSE kernel only for the installation and
right after the system comes up I'm installing one that I've
compiled so I can not give you a better answer. Read the
manual and search for "scanner installation" in the index.
