well after a LOT of searching trying crying and screaming here is a link which should help anybody who had similar problems:

http://www.eugeneteo.net/docs/USBScanner-HOWTO.txt

easy and effective.
In case the above link breaks/does not work here it is pasted into my post.
NOTE dont just follow this step by step. read it and adapt for your system/scanner

First of all, you need a working USB subsystem. Here are the steps:

# tar xvzf linux-2.4.3.tar.gz
# ln -s linux-2.4.3 linux
# make mrproper
# make menuconfig

Choose the following options under USB Support:

- select Support for USB (module)
- select Preliminary USB device filesystem
- select (use lspci -v. More info at Documentation/usb/usb.txt)
+ UHCI (Intel PIIX4, VIA, ...) support (module) _or_
+ UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support (module) _or_
+ OHCI (Compaq, iMacs, OPTi, SiS, ALi, ...) support
- select USB Scanner support (module)

After making the necessary changes to the kernel options, exit the
configuration menu.

# vi /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/scanner.h

Make the following changes:

--- linux-BAK/drivers/usb/scanner.h Mon Dec 11 08:49:43 2000
+++ linux/drivers/usb/scanner.h Wed Apr 11 23:02:56 2001
@@ -41,10 +41,10 @@
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("USB Scanner Driver");

MODULE_PARM(vendor, "i");
-MODULE_PARM_DESC(vendor, "User specified USB idVendor");
+MODULE_PARM_DESC(vendor, "0x04b8");

MODULE_PARM(product, "i");
-MODULE_PARM_DESC(product, "User specified USB idProduct");
+MODULE_PARM_DESC(product, "0x0103");


/* Enable to activate the ioctl interface. This is mainly meant for */

If you are not sure what to put for the vendor and product, you can get
some hints if you scroll down scanner.h, e.g.

/* Seiko/Epson Corp. */
{ 0x04b8, 0x0101 }, /* Perfection 636U and 636Photo */
{ 0x04b8, 0x0103 }, /* Perfection 610 */
{ 0x04b8, 0x0104 }, /* Perfection 1200U and 1200Photo */

After making the changes, proceed to create the kernel image and install it.

# make-kpkg clean
# fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=usb.1.0 \ kernel_image
# dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.4.3_usb.1.0_i386.deb

Do not forget to run lilo after installing the kernel. For more
information, see

http://www.yolinux.com/cgi-bin/man2html?cgi_command=lilo
http://www.yolinux.com/cgi-bin/man2html?cgi_command=lilo.conf

If you follow the instruction closely, you should see this:

pandemonium:/usr/src# ls -l /lib/modules/<kernel version>/usb/
total 112
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7856 Apr 11 23:03 scanner.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24984 Apr 11 23:03 usb-uhci.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 73068 Apr 11 23:03 usbcore.o

Add the corresponding entries in /etc/modules

alias char-major-180 usb-uhci
pre-install usb-uhci
modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x0103

After setting up the USB subsystem, do a soft reboot to use the new
kernel. During booting, you should be able to see these.

usb.c: USB device number 2 default language ID 0x409
Manufacturer: EPSON
Product: Perfection610
scanner.c: probe_scanner: User specified USB scanner --
Vendor:Product - 4b8:103
usb.c: usbscanner driver claimed interface c29d4320

Type lsmod and you should be able to see the following modules loaded.

scanner 4784 0 (unused)
usb-uhci 18880 0 (unused)
usbcore 47568 0 [scanner usb-uhci]

Create the device file in /dev.

mknod /dev/usbscanner0 c 180 48
chmod 666 /dev/usbscanner0

Once the scanner has been set up, you can proceed to install the SANE
packages.

# apt-get update
# apt-get install sane

The only thing you need to configure for SANE is to edit the epson.conf

# vi /etc/sane.d/epson.conf

and append the following line in replace of the /dev/usbscanner0

usb /dev/usbscanner0
