  I am pretty sure that you can use the stock kernel with
  SCSI scanners. SuSE's YaST does have an option to install
  a scanner, so I guess they have all the necessary modules
  pre-compiled and installed. (SuSE's installation is modules
  based). You need a module for the SCSI controller and for
  generic SCSI devices.

  I usually run a SuSE kernel only for the installation and
  right after the system comes up I'm installing one that I've
  compiled so I can not give you a better answer. Read the
  manual and search for "scanner installation" in the index.
