Problem was in kernel & motherboard, not DVD. When supplied during boot parameter to use generic IDE it worked "fine", but slow.

I didn't know was it supported under OpenSUSE, but knew somebody had it working under Linux, and price difference between this model and the one supported by OpenSUSE is at least $100+ (I would rather give these money to OpenSUSE folks
)

Well, I did the same in the past (like in the case of sound card), but as you may see it doesn't work (even though I got binary driver for it on CD). Same thing happened with wireless card for notebook that was supposed to use supported Atheros chip (I paid 50% more for it than competition). What a waste of money!
