/dev/sg0 (1, 2 and so on) are the device files to access SCSI generic devices like scanners. Usually you use only one per device. Maybe Mandrake turned on "use multiple LUNs" in the Linux kernel? That may be necessary for some SCSI devices but makes trouble for others like this scanner. i don't know if you can turn off that function at run-time but you should at least find some hints on google.
