Well, I wasn't expecting a big thread on this, but never mind. The main reasons I posted was for the record and for a laugh, obviously if someone had had the quick-shot fix I'd appreciate it nevertheless. Maybe it's time to retire a 1995 burner the size of a desktop PC, even though it still has usable life. As I have another internal IDE burner, which works even with subfs, as !=root and out of the box (but it fails to detect correct media speed, defaulting to burner's lowest), there's no big urgency on the door stop one. However, as it seems of general interest, I'll follow up the obvious leads soonish.
I used cdrecord-prodvd to check if the problem was caused by SuSE's hacking (answer: no), obviously to save myself compiling my own for the time being. The cdrecord binary from SuSE 8.2 (very reliable back then) doesn't run because of a libresmgr version issue. I believe I did try with a 1.x cdrecord binary from back yonks, but can't find the log file and it didn't work any better/different. It seems quite obviously caused by the kernel.
