Angry K3b Hangs on Startup


I am running suse 9.2
Every time I start kde it gets to Scanning CD Devices then just stops there and eventually stops working and hangs
I have tried different versions on different distros (Suse and Mandrake) and it does the same thing.
I did get it to work at one point back in the summer when i bought a new CD-RW and installed it and started up Linux and it worked for some reason. Then when i decided to try out Mandrake and uninstalled suse it did the same thing again on mandrake 10.1 and suse 9.2.
I have searched through forums and not really found any info on this.
I have also tried compiling K3b from source then running it
If anyone has any idea that can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
~Thanks

Are you positively 100% sure the jumpers are set correctly and you are using matching cable (i. e. CS cable for CS) and your drive is recognized correctly by BIOS?

I had my drives set on auto select in the bios and the jumper on the drives as one set as master and one as slave, so i put them on cable select on both drives and still no luck. I am pretty sure that my bios is recognizing them correctly. Same thing still happens on startup of k3b.
