Where is the option for usb scanner when compiling your kernel? It seems that it was forgotten. Yesterday I found out that to use the scanner I had to boot with the 2.4.22 image, now I am trying to recompile the image 2.6.3 to add scanner support but I can find only for microtek, and no generic as it used to be. I am suspending the compiling until I find out more about it.
The kernel changelog mentions it, it is now deprecated and removed from the kernel you have to swith to using libusb.
For my Epson scanner I had simply to put
usb
on the epson.conf file

For my epson it was not as simple. Sane is now supported by libusb and not kernel. Run sane-find-scanner. You get something like this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0104 [Perfection1200]) at libusb:001:003
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
Then I put this in /etc/sane.d/epson.conf: usb libusb:001:003
Scanner OK. Kenneth.
