Yea it used to work so I am not sure if it was a kernel update or what. Suse sees it just fine if I go to yast hardware it shows it as a dvd+rw but if I do a cdrecord -scanbus only one drive shows up. So tis may be a cdrecord problem Cdrecord-Clone-dvd 2.01a27 (x86_64-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.

Well, Ray, we're even then. K3B works fine for me, and VMware works fine for you! :p
I had the same prob you're having with my old Liteon DVDRW and Mandrake 10 a while back, never did get it resolved.
On the new machine SuSE worked right out of the box for me. Are you sure your hardware's supported? My burner's made by Sony; I forget the model off the top of my head.
