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.
Kind regards Philippe
Those master and slave jumpers are ancient. For many years, the selection is determined by the cable. If you use the end connector, the drive is the master. If the middle connector, it's the slave. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
