After upgrading to SuSE 9.1, kernel 2.6.5, burning CDs with my old Philips CDD522 (2-speed, no rude comments please) SCSI burner no longer works.

Same problem. The 2 scanners on the same SCSI bus work fine as before. I can mount media in the CDD522 just fine. The drive is built like a brick sh**house and just works. No need wearing out the new burner when there's plenty of time. A bit ironic really that working stuff is forced on the scrap heap because of Linux problems, given the latter's reputation as saviour of old hardware.
