I moved a hard disk from one system to another (should be primary master in both). In new system, the system boots from the disk, but SUSE dies with:

Just a wild guess, is the controller being loaded in the installed system? During the boot process do you see the ide controlled being loaded and the drives showing? Some controllers are loaded with the rescue system that may not be loaded with the installed system.
It seems you guessed correctly, but how to fix it?
