So it was set to be m_A_ster.

So this is now set to s_L_ave. That will probably not work.

On IDE, you will have max. two devices per channel.
One needs to be Master, the other needs to be Slave.
If there is only one, you should set it to Master.

You theoretically can escape this hassle by using cableSelect, but I do
not have good experinces with this and prefer to decide on my very own,
which device will be master and which will be slave.
