How did you get it onto an sata drive?... its not actually supported by linux yet till kernel 2.6, though suse does have some odd drivers tossed in extra...

anyway

hdparm -c3 -u1 -d1 /dev/yourdrivehere

thx , i just fixed it upgrading to 2.6.3 .... now other shit dont work but sata work perfectly thx for your help ;)
