What does the size of the cable - 40-wire or 80-wire - have anything to do with the man's problem?
I guess you missed the significance of http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-12/msg00411.html
It holds the clue that explains why devices /dev/sda* do not get created automatically when running the newer kernel. Kernel response to non-compliance with ATA cabling spec apparently changed after 12.2's 3.4.6 kernel.
So, I had better now go and find an 80-wire cable replacement for my SATA 3 cable now connecting my HDD and which the kernel (3.6.10) has decided is connected with a 40-wire cable and therefore has configured it to operate at UDMA 33 and not its native 133 UDMA. Makes sense I suppose....
