    Here is the output from find-scanner:

    # If your scanner uses SCSI, you must have a driver for your SCSI
    # adaptor and support for SCSI Generic (sg) in your Operating System
    # in order for the scanner to be used with SANE. If your scanner is
    # NOT listed above, check that you have installed the drivers.

    Now, in response to Oliver Neukum, here is cat /proc/scsi/scsi:

    Attached devices:
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
      Vendor: UMAX Model: Astra 1220S Rev: V1.2
      Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 02
    Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00
      Vendor: SyQuest Model: SyJet-S Rev: 0111
      Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

    As I mentioned before, the Syjet works fine (I know this has nothing to do with sg).

    Oliver Rauch asked for ls-l /dev/sg*. It gives

    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg0 -> sga
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg1 -> sgb
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg2 -> sgc
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg3 -> sgd
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg4 -> sge
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg5 -> sgf
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg6 -> sgg
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 16 21:53 /dev/sg7 -> sgh
    crw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 21, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/sga
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 1 May 5 1998 /dev/sgb
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 2 May 5 1998 /dev/sgc
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 3 May 5 1998 /dev/sgd
    crw-rw---- 1 root sys 21, 4 May 5 1998 /dev/sge
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 5 May 5 1998 /dev/sgf
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 6 May 5 1998 /dev/sgg
    crw------- 1 root sys 21, 7 May 5 1998 /dev/sgh

    cat/proc/modules and lsmod both give

    dmasound 29808 0

    --so obviously the driver is not there.

    modprobe sg_mod gives

    can't locate module sg_mod

    Thank you all.
