Cannot open host device ‘/dev/sr0’ for read/write access. Check the
permissions of that device (’/bin/ls -l /dev/sr0’): Most probably you
need to be member of the device group. Make sure that you logout/login
after changing the group settings of the current user
(VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Have you added yourself to the cdrom group? I know that I couldn’t even
play cd’s until I did that. The error message looks remarkably similar
to what I saw before setting the correct permissions for the cdrom
device.
By default you can install XP simple from the CD, but this suse version
have a lot of problems with the optical drives. So, make an .iso as
caf4926 suggested.
