Well i have a SCSI HD too and i haven't had any problems at all!
As far as i know, i think there is no need to mess with ide-scsi options 
during kernel boot since SuSE 9.1.

Can u please try the other alternative package for cd-writing, "XCDRoast"?

Can u also please give some detailed info about your cdroms hardware like 
manufacturer etc...? (u can view detailed info about your hardware with 
the 'hwinfo' command, as root).
When u say that K3B just sits there looking and looking, after how many 
minutes does it displays its main window (or it doesnt at all?). Can u 
enter in the Configuration of K3B dialog ?
Have u seen the logs of the kernel/system? Is there any error/warning 
about your CDRW ?
Have u tried to disconnect any of your cd-rom drives and see if K3B 
starts?
