I'm also curious as to why this had to creep back. Is there some reason to set multmode on bootup in the kernel? Andre, if you're reading, please comment ...
As far as I can see, this is totally unnecessary; my own faulting drive (also a Seagate, but different model --> ST34321A) uses DMA for transfers and multmode is actually set off later in the boot process.
