The problem seems to be, that the system is to *new*. There are a lot
SATS ports, but there is only one IDE channel and not two, as one would
expect. I guess this IDE port should only be used for CD-ROMs and so on
and not for hard disks.

That worth a try. Nevertheless I sent a mail to digium, as it seems to
be some kind of hardware problem, maybe they can help me solve this issue.

I have none in stock, I would have to order one.

That would be an idea, but it involes a lot of work and downtime. This
will only be my last resort.
