That "smells" like a cabling problem or some other hardware issue. The
adapter driver seems to find some sort of deice, but probably can't read
the result of the usual SCSI INQUIRY command. At least the field "type"
should be "scanner" or perhaps "processor". 

Please check /var/log/messages, if there is any entry from the aha152x
driver, when you insmod thatz module.
