Have just installed SuSE 9.1 Pro after having used 8.2 Pro for a while, but don't take that to mean I'm all that brilliant a user... All these things worked under 8.2 as I recall.
Sony DW-U18a DVD Burner is recognized by the system and worked very nicely to install 9.1 from the DVD's. It works to read my DVD of backed up system files. Have not yet tried to burn any DVD's with it yet.
It will NOT read: Audio CD's burned cd's of data files including simple .txt files or .mp3 files When one of these type are installed, it does attempt some read (I can hear the drive surging) but eventually it stops and nothing further happens.
I have also installed a CD-ROM device which reads all of the Audio and data CD discs with no problem. This time I installed with Grub instead of Lilo, no idea why, or why not to do one or the other...just thought I'd try something different...
I have no idea where to start to "fix" this. I'd just as soon leave both devices attached, for copying data cd's to DVD for example. But since it seems that the DVD recorder/reader works for DVD's and the CDROM device works for CD's I'm loathe to remove the CDROM from the system.
Anyone give me a push regarding where I start with trying to sort out something like this?

Looks like hw problem with your DVD device. As far as I recall, different types (or lengths or whatever) are used for reading dvd, cd-rom, and recorded cds. So some part of the device is not working. Try installing this device in different machine and try. Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
