OK, this is doing my head in. On SuSE 9.2, which I support a few end-users on around the place as part of my advocacy antics, there is a fairly well-known problem with some USB mass storage devices.
If anybody has personally surmounted this problem - or failing that has some salient ideas about it - or failing that a shoulder to cry on - I'd be hugely interested to hear about it.
Try comparing /drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h in the kernel source tree on your SuSE and Ubuntu systems. It may be that there is an entry for that specific device in the later system that was not in the SuSE kernel.
I had similar problems with a Pentax Optio S camera where there was a fix for the previous model but on the new version they had changed the vendor id's
Oh, also, I have an ati driver which I may tentatively install to get some games going - at 50 odd MB it's a heavy old file for a dialup connection, so if anyluggers have copies of ati-driver-installer-8.16.20-i386.run they can provide me with a checksum for, warm fuzzy thanks would abound. :)
Md5 checksum as follows
