In fact, these lines look a lot like those in the Configure.help section for CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE: hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } However, enabling multi-mode didn't make these warning messages disappear. Although to be frank, I couldn't find any lines of code that depended on the setting of CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE in the first place... Still, no other problems so far ... Cheers, Chris
