I didn't follow *all* the thread, so I don't know if you tested the ram with memtest86?
Hmmm.... RAM... :-( Well.... I don't know if it is a problem or not. Long story. Short of it is I have an Asus M2N motherboard with 4GB of 800MHz Kingston Value RAM. If I run it at full speed, it has.. issues. This is a known problem regardless of OS with the Kingston RAM I have in combination with the motherboard. The timings as given in the BIOS are not right. There is no BIOS update available from ASUS, and the Kingston datasheets do not provide enough information to figure out what goes into the 21 different RAM timing settings in the BIOS. The solution is to throttle back the RAM speed to 667MHz and all is OK with the timing then. This was done long before DVD burns stopped working, so.. I hope that it's not related. There was a fairly extensive RAM test done when I was trying to sort the RAM timing issues, but it was several months ago.
I use 11 to burn dvd with no problem at all, so your problem is probably a recent failure, with no link to opensuse
Agreed. I have tried it with other Linux installs (before replacing the data cable and DVD burner) with the same results. I have a feeling it will have to limp along unresolved until next year or longer until i replace the motherboard (if that is the root of the problem). :-( C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
