I installed a version of k3b 11.20-3 and now my machine doesn't know how to burn. In k3b it says "no burner found" or something to that effect (even though I can se the burner in k3b setup. Also, I can see the burner under Hardware Information in Yast and under the CD-ROM option.

I get the follow when I do a "cat /var/log/messages" and I believe this is why my burner no longer works. This is after restarting the machine so this is mostly from the boot process itself:
