First off, install SuSE 7.3 which can automatically find and configure CD-RW
drives. Then use X-CDRoast, which I have found works best and most reliably.
Failing that, there's a knowledgebase article on configuring CD-RWs on the
SuSE web site. Also, even though it isn't a CDRW, you need to designate the
CD Reader as IDE-SCSI as well in order for most programs to use it as the
read drive.
The article is at:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/mkrapp_6.4_atapi-writer-e.html
I would seriously recommend moving to 7.3 because there's a bug in 7.2 that
sometimes sends the IDE-SCSI driver into an infinite loop on boot-up-- at
least, on my system it did. I haven't had the problem since I went to 7.3.
Good luck!
