Andre, Alan, My grand total experience with IDE drivers is now around 4 hours. I have no clue what's right or wrong and am quite clueless what the role of apmd is wrt ide-disk driver. I'm open to testing other fixes for this problem.
AFAIK, this could be a BIOS bug since no one else seems to have run into on other laptops and it's reproduce with two different makes of drives.
The reason I put the fix in the read/multwrite_intr path is the recovery has to occur before the I/O is retried and before accessing the disk. If multmode can be set before even trying the I/O, then that's definitely a better solution. I just have no clue how to implement it.
thanks, grant
