After installing a Plextor 760A, on every pressed dvd I try to read I get the option to create a cd/dvd with k3b. The problem does not apear on written dvd+-r or pressed cd. The drive is updated with the latest official firmware. openSUSE 10.2 is with the latest patches from online update The kernel gives me the message: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
