See if it detected your hardware first. Look in /var/log/messages for
the time that you inserted the module and see if anything relevant
appears.
You might also try "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and see what appears.
If that shows your scanner, then you've got the right module. Add:
alias scsi_hostadapter tmscsim
to /etc/modprobe.conf

Let's make sure you've got the right SCSI driver first.
