Mark,
I am convinced that the 2.6.34 kernel has so
regarding onboard module handling (or whatever the heck you call the modules that used to be external loadable module that are now black-magic in the kernel) I have an x86_64 laptop that hardlocks on boot with 2.6.34, but runs every kernel prior to that without any
very large bugs in it problems. Please search
bugzilla.novell for 11.3 optical disk read error (or any 2.6.34 module load error) and if you don't find anything related open a new report. ...
I'd also like to suggest trying
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/i586/
and installing it with rpm -i <KOTD flavor>
... David, Richard, Thank you for your advices. I'll probably try advanced kernel later (I have to prepare carefully since I have a number of driver modules I have to re-compile for new kernel). But in the meantime I did some more experiments and now I'm not sure where to look at... So again, I have on the same machine oS 11.3/KDE 4.4, oS 11.1 / KDE 3.1, Kubuntu 10.04 / KDE 4.4. I also have one internal DVD drive and one external USB DVD drive. Till now I tried same CD on internal DVD drive with 11.1 (kernel 2.6.27.48-0.1-pae) and 11.3 (2.6.34-12-desktop) and it looked like mounting always succeed with 11.1 and always failed with 11.3. Now I tried Kubuntu 10.04 (kernel 2.6.32-24-generic) with internal drive and all attempts failed with the same message as in 11.3. Then in 11.3 I logged into LXDE, and got a surprise: same messages about I/O errors in the syslog, but the CD is successfully mounted and I can read it. I then attached external DVD and saw the same behavior under LXDE - a number of error messages, but eventually disk is mounted and accessible. Returned to KDE4 session. With external DVD one time mounting failed and another one it succeeded. I put the CD again in internal drive and all attempts failed again. So my impression is that the CD might actually have some defect. But the modules that are responsible for automounting in KDE3 and LXDE behave differently from the one in KDE4.4 (maybe ignore errors or making more attempts).
