Err...

in this case it's hardly a SANE bug, because there's no sane application 
started. It's more likely that there's some other program trying to access 
the USB bus. You should try to find out at which stage of the init process 
the noise is caused. On SuSE 7.3, try "init 2", then "init 3" and finally 
"init 5". (Init 2 will kill your X-Server.) You may also take a look at the 
init scripts in /etc/rc.d and start/stop them manually, e.g. 
"/etc/rc.d/hotplug stop" or "/etc/rc.d/hotplug start". Probably one of the 
scripts is responsible for the noise.
