gps detected not correctely

hi

with opensuse 11.4, my gps qstartz 1000z seem detected like a storage mass

[77173.550064] usb 1-6: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
[77173.667170] scsi7 : usb-storage 1-6:1.0
[77174.675625] scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Generic  STORAGE DEVICE   9412 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[77174.676006] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
[77174.678375] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk

with opensuse 11.3 it was detected like: /dev/ttyACM0

so i can’t use any problem

any idea?

Try to mount it and see if it is true.

can’t mount sdb

Is the cdc_acm module loaded? (I suspect not if /dev/ACM0 is not present).

lsmod |grep cdc

If not try loading it manually, then insert your gps device

modprobe cdc_acm

What does dmesg reveal now?

dmesg|tail
ls -l /dev/ACM0

If this works, then you can use YaST>>System>>/etc/sysconfig Editor to load the module automatically at boot. (Navigate to System>>Kernel>MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT and add the required module there).

Please post trial on a terminal with the error you get, between code tags.
Try also fdisk -l /dev/sdb.
