This problem is widespread! I am experiencing it - like other users of
the Knoppix 5.3 live cd that came with a recent issue of the c't
magazine - here on a Nvidia MCP55 and a BenQ DW1655 which is master to
a Plextor PX-708A. Booting off the BenQ fails whereas booting off the
Plextor (slave) works.

Ciao,
