After some reboots and tests I discovered, that this error occurs only when
the scanner was turned off during system boot and was discovered later by
invoking the following script:
for device in /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/scan ; do
echo "0 - -" > $device
done
With 2.6.22 and before the scanner was fully functional when discovered by a
bus rescan.

regards,
JÃrg
