During the boot the system would find the first 3 disks and then wait for 30-60 seconds. Then it would go on with the boot. I changed the cables around making the new disk #3 and my older disk #4.

This about it waiting 30-60 seconds doesn't sound right. That tends to mean the BIOS has sent off a command to the drive, and it isn't being answered. Or the answer isn't recognized.
I wonder about the disk being too big because the MB is about 3 years old and back then there was nothing bigger than about 500gb.
Have you checked the motherboard specs? They might just indicate something like that - maybe there's even a firmware upgrade available. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
