See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524#c17
Try if you can scan with the original Suse Linux 10.0 sane and iscan
packages after
rmmod usblp
rmmod usb-storage

Probably it doesn't help to only install new package versions.
You must watch the messages in /var/log/messages which show you
which kernel module is in conflict with SANE in your particular case,
see the initial comment in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524
and comment #17
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524#c17


Alternatively install the new packages

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jsmeix/unsupported/sane/10.0/RPMS/
sane-1.0.15-20.1.i586.ignore-EBUSY-from-USB.rpm

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jsmeix/unsupported/iscan/10.0/RPMS/
iscan-1.15.0.2-4.1.i586.ignore-EBUSY-from-USB.rpm

and try if scanning works out-of-the-box
and if not, try if scanning works after "rmmod usb-storage"
or after "rmmod <whatever_is_in_conflict_with_SANE>".


Furthermore:
Regarding "hotplug,udev,HAL,resmgr,whatever,..." for scanners
and Suse Linux, see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html
"Basics" and "libusb + resmgr + PAM"
and
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/09/jsmeix_scanner-setup-100.html
"Change regarding the access permissions for USB scanners via resmgr"

For scanner access as normal user with Suse Linux we use resmgr
in our version of libusb to grant the access.
As resmgr runs as root only resmgr must be configured to grant access
for normal users (i.e. there is no need for hotplug).
Therefore regarding scanner access with resmgr see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html
for Suse Linux 9.1 9.2 and 9.3
and
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/09/jsmeix_scanner-setup-100.html
for Suse Linux 10.0
