Dear Thomas,
Do you have slmodem.SUSE service running?
If you do in the device add a conditional statement:
======================
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slamr0
if ! [[ -e $SLMODEMD_DEVICE ]] &> /dev/null; then
{
echo -n "Creating slamr device ..."
mkdir -p /dev
mknod -m 600 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0;
echo -n ||
{
echo "failed."
exit -1
}
}
fi
If you don't have slmodem service running under SUSE it should reside
in slmodem-2.9.11-20XY***/scripts/suse/ and you can take a look here
for references:

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Antonio
