I boot with selinux=0; it is a fresh install.

The output is shown below:

[root gstpc log]# sane-find-scanner

 # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make 
sure that
 # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

 # No USB scanners found. If you expected something different, make 
sure that
 # you have loaded a driver for your USB host controller and have 
installed a
 # kernel scanner module.

 # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

 # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
 # can't be detected by this program.
[root gstpc log]# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
[root gstpc log]# grep avc dmesg
[root gstpc log]#
