Not a "motherboard" issue, it can't be.

Yes, you can have problems if you try to use cable select without a
cable select cable.  Yes, you can have problems if you have a drive that
doesn't play nicely.  

But it's a drive and cable issue, not motherboard issue.  Either the
cable, or the jumpers, configure each drive as master or slave.

If you have a motherboard that cannot handle masters and slaves, then
it's going to balls-up regardless of which method you use to set up the
drives.
