If I recall from memory.......this drive will not handle a setting of zero
for the multmode parameter.......zero and 1 are for all purposes equal.
multmode==0 and multmode==1 are single write commands.......
I am considering code changes to dissallow multmode settings overlaid
on DMA transfers. The original idea is that if DMA fails that with
multmode set to max_multmode, then transfer rates will suffer less.
Poke into ide-disk.c near the low 3/4 of the file.
} else {
printk(", DMA");
}
}
printk("\n");
drive->mult_count = 0;
if (id->max_multsect) {
id->multsect = ((id->max_multsect/2) > 1) ? id->max_multsect : 0
The line below may be offending your drive......do a simple force change
to both 0 and 1 instead of = drive->mult_req ? 1 : 0;
drive->special.b.set_multmode = drive->mult_req ? 1 : 0;
}
drive->no_io_32bit = id->dword_io ? 1 : 0;
Recompile each way and see what happens.........or skip the process and
don't worry about the error..........
