SuSE 8.x vs. 10.x? Excuse me, your problem looks more like a weird
kernel error introduced in kernel 2.6.

The usual treatment. Joerg did some strange things for no reason but I
am not sure whether they are the real cause for your problem.

Those are the kernel messages. Fine. Where is the wodim program output?
Please create some with -vvv -VVV and make that available somewhere on
the net. Don't send them uncompressed to this list!
