Is there a problem with 1 Tb disks (or larger) in Opensuse 11?
Yesterday I bought a Western Digital Caviar Black, model
WD1001FALS-00J780. I put it into an external cabinet, attached the USB
cord to the computer and started Opensuse 11.
The disk did not appear in Konqueror, so I went into Yast2. There was no
indication that there was any disk attached, and I tried Yast (the
text-based older version). There the disk came up, but Yast claimed that
the disk was 2 Tb instead of 1 Tb. I started formatting, but the process
stopped with no success and I could not format the disk.

Did you try "tail -f /var/log/messages" and connect/disconnect the
drive? Maybe you can see if the disk is recognized.

That yielded this result:

siberia@linux-k9na:~> tail -f /var/log/messages
tail: cannot open `/var/log/messages' for reading: Permission denied
tail: no files remaining
