Hi,
In ide.h: #define INITIAL_MULT_COUNT 0 In ide-disk.c: drive->mult_req = INITIAL_MULT_COUNT;
However, for me this gives me (during idedisk_setup): hda:hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError } so I set in ide.h #define INITIAL_MULT_COUNT 32
Alternatively, part of Andre Hedrick's ide_2_2_12_19990925 patch can be used by doing the following:
--- linux.14p12/drivers/block/ide-disk.c.old Thu Dec 9 18:10:28 1999 +++ linux.14p12/drivers/block/ide-disk.c Thu Dec 9 18:26:38 1999 @@ -797,7 +797,7 @@ drive->mult_count = 0; if (id->max_multsect) { -#if 1 /* original, pre IDE-NFG, per request of AC */ +#if 0 /* original, pre IDE-NFG, per request of AC */ drive->mult_req = INITIAL_MULT_COUNT; if (drive->mult_req > id->max_multsect) drive->mult_req = id->max_multsect;
Is this unwise for me to do?
Regards, Mark.
