I'm assuming you aren't mounting the disc.
Now, lets see...Check the SuSE boot scripts for any abberant behavior. That may be the cause.
Another possibility is that you are mounting the disc, and for some reason, that changes the permissions. I haven't really paid attention to how mounting with the option user changes things, but I doubt it changes permissions.
I'd try chown'ing the proper files with the command:
chown root.root /dev/whatever
And then setting the group permisions.
Another possibliity is that SuSE 8.1 might use devfs. You'd see a file in /etc/ called devfsd.conf, and that may be the cause.
