Rajko M sorry for sending E-MAIL direct to you. This is the only list I
participate in that send reply's to original sender rather than to the
list. Seem's counter intuitive to me. But that's just me...

Thanks for the reply. I believe I now understand current handling of
md5sum and sha1sum. And both do match.

The DVD drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-112D about 1 year old. It does
work well with multiple install DVD's each for openSUSE 11.0, Mandriva,
and Fedora. Including during the time I'm having problem with 11.1 Beta
1-5. I'm burning these DVD's [k3b] at slowest speed 2.4x and using
'verify written data'. And have tried cdrecord from cli exactly as
'Download Help' web page suggests:

cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 speed=44 driveropts=burnproof -eject -v
openSUSE-11.1-Beta5-DVD-x86_64.iso

I don't have any funds just now to buy another anyway. Just realized
that I do have an older external DVD-RW. Though older it has been used
much less than internal one. Also in k3b it offers to burn at an even
slower speed. Am burning one now at 1x using 'verify written data'. Will
see what happens...

Also FWIW: The bug assignee, Tejun Heo, seems to clearly believe that
this is a kernel problem. We have done tests that indicate that this is
probable. However I will do all I can to eliminate the possibility of a
full or partial hardware problem.
