I posted earlier about problems burning DVDs and the problem is still there. This has been an issue in openSUSE 11.0 and in Kubuntu 8.04 as well... so I don't think that it is an OS specific problem... but whatever it is, I haven't yet resolved it and I could use a little nudge in the right direction. Basically, I start a DVD burn on a known good ISO (tested, checked MD5s etc) and part way in, the burn fails. I have replaced the hardware (new DVD burner) and get the same behavior). I have replaced the OS (moved to openSUSE 11.0) and the problem is still there. The only thing that has not been replaced is the motherboard and the ribbon cable. This was a working DVD burner setup last week (burnt a couple DVD ISOs).... and no hardware/software changes (before I started tinkering to try and find out why it stopped working).
