Hmm. I can't quite figure out the whole master-slave port thing here. I can only see what happens in the BIOS reporting as I move the connections around on the motherboard. Putting both HD's into what appeared to be "slave" ports got the BIOS to say "hey, I can't find a master HD", not surprisingly. Also not surprisingly, SuSE didn't find them either. Master/Slave was an obsession of the IDE protocol: There you need to set a jumper on each hard disk so that every IDE cable only has one master (and one slave), or CS (cable select) both. Sata does not need this.
