Hmmm. I'm on a Red Hat 6.1 system; I'm a bit
on the conservative side in that once I get my
system working in a particular configuration I
don't like to perturb it; this may lend credence
to your hypothesis that it's the newer install of
Linux and not your hardware specifically that may
be the root cause of this problem.

given identical hardware - HP4C scanner with
Adaptec AHA2940 controllers:

        RH 6.1 - works
        RH 6.2 - works
        RH 7.0 - broken
