It WORKS! I don't know if the solution was the kernel-recompilation and/or the MAKEDEV, but now it works!! scanner, mouse, ... everything works ;-) I did a "MAKEDEV update" and after a reboot the scanner was there :-) I didn't notice, at first, that it was working, so I did also a "MAKEDEV generic", but I was in my home directory: so now I've A LOT of device file to remove, but I don't care, what matters is that it works. Maybe reinstalling the kernel + MAKEDEV update was the solution, who knows... Thank you again for your help: I knew MAKEDEV was in /dev/ but I didn't know what do do with it. Reading the man page was very instructive.
