I had to reinstall Suse 11.1 after some self made mishap, long story short I went to go burn an iso file and K3B came back with the error that it could not find a burner. After a few cartoon swear words left my mouth I did the following.

Go to YAST, Click Hardware, Click Hardware Information. In the list of hardware find your drives location. (I know there are many ways to do this, I just like yast)

Open shell and do an su command and do the following:

chmod 777 /dev/drive_location_here
ln -s /dev/dvd /dev/drive_location_here

Thanks geospart

Had the same problem come up, but did not have time to look into it.

It now works.

My original 11.1 install did the same thing and it was a common bug. Thought they had fixed the issue with updates.

Sweet I actually helped someone, your welcome Mushroom.

bdquick never knew it was a bug ran in to this before saw that no one posted a fix so I figred hey why not.

I just did a review of the new openSUSE version with KDE 4.3 and it looks really good.

Dont laugh but pray and hope they do not manage to mess it up before final release which is not far away LOL.

I just wish they stop changing the repositories around every other week. Driving me nuts.

Looks pretty solid with a few very minor flaws which should be easily fixed and yes they are working on them. Just remember if you go the full DVD route KDE is listed as default so if you want to use G or X you must select them or it auto install KDE 4.3. All will have Live CD's if you want to go that route instead. All desktops are fully supported even though they chose to use KDE as default. At least they finally have the wireless working without problems providing you do not have a 10 year old card or device. (Just a pun)
