<*> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
[*] Use multi-mode by default

Have you tried recompiling the kernel and checking off the second option
show above?

CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE
If you get this error, try to say Y here:
hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
If in doubt, say N.

I have a similar problem with a Samsung hard drive. Model SV2044D. The
output of 'hdparm -i' below indicates it supports several multiword and
ultra DMA modes but if i run the drive in anything other than PIO mode
it
gets DMA timeouts and SeekComplete Errors. This has been on every
kernel I
can recall in the 2.4 and 2.6 series.

demigod:~# hdparm -i /dev/hda
