Well, I can't help much. But it looks to me like this is complaining about the device with major 16, minor 40. This site: http://www.lanana.org/docs/device-list/devices.txt says that's a Goldstar CD-ROM. You might check a more recent devices.txt if you have the kernel source handy (in linux/Documentation/devices.txt). Or you might check your /dev directory to see what has those numbers. Seems to be a problem reading the install CD. Do you have an unusual CD-ROM? Perhaps there's a way to tell SuSE what driver it should be using? I hope I'm close enough not to be misleading...
