I tried that too... Tried DVD RW, +R and -R. Nothing would work. I even went so far as to buy a new DVD burner and that didn't work either... in fact, things deteriorated even more once i dropped in the new DVD burner. Previously I was able to at least get a complete burn (OK, with bad data, but the burn completed). After I installed the new DVD burner, I would get maybe 5% of a burn, and then it would fail with an "unknown error". Not so helpful.
In the end I set up an external USB drive to be used as an install drive, and installed openSUSE 11.0 from there. That worked. I haven't yet tested to see if the DVD burn problem was "fixed" with the new install.
As I might have missed it, did you change the cable to the burner? If so, then disregard. About the only other thing would be the controller on the MB..
