I actually solved the issue by doing a system update but parsing brokenmodules=pata_amd as a kernel option (mobo is a ASUS M2NPV-VM, mounting two HL-DT-STDVD-RAM LG GSA-H22N). I suspect it now loads an older version of the pata_amd module that is compatible with my hw. Now the dvd drives are again listed as /dev/hd* (as in 10.2, in opposite to /dev/sr* in the 10.3).
Question: is this a kernel or suse bug, worth to be reported?
