Hi Chinab,
You seem to have all the required modules in your kernel (as evidenced
by the boot messages and the device showing up if you plug it after
boot).
The reason why /dev/ttyACM0 does not show up at boot may be due to
some conflict or wrong configuration. You can try running this after
boot:
mknod /dev/usb/ttyACM0 c 166 0
If that makes the node show up, you should look into adjusting your
udev config (which I unfortunately know little about).
