KOnCD 1.0r2 crashes when writing master CD in SuSE8.0 with Yamaha CRW3200E CD-R

Hi all......

I am a bit frustrated at this.  Would appreciate a little help.
I use Linux on servers, but this is my first attempt to use it as a desktop.
Would really like an alternative to Windows......

On every attempt to write a data CD, KOnCD immediately crashes and the KDE
crash manager opens.

I have applied the fix offered in

http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/tbraza_ide_brenner.html

and the result has been the same.

I have done the fix offered in

http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/81_ide-scsi.html

and it solved the problem of the DVD and CD-R not mounting, but not the
crash on write.

I have all updates from SuSE.

I have checked the KDE KOnCD bug list and found over a dozen bug reports on
the same issue, all from SuSE rpm's, but no resolution.

I have searched this mailing list and found no help.

Notes: The Yamaha CRW3200E SCSI CD-R and SONY CD-ROM CDU5211 SCSI are on a
Promise IDE-66 controller card.  The Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-105 is on a
motherboard (ECS K7VZA) IDE controller.  There seems to be no problem
reading from these drives, except that the DVD-ROM will not read the SuSE
8.0 Installation DVD (A known, unresolved issue).
