IDE Driver Problems

Hello,

I just purchased a brand new Seagate Medalist 6531 (Model ST36531A) to be
used as the primary hard drive of my new Linux server.

I noticed some strange errors:

Jul 1 15:01:57 dt060n76 kernel: Partition check:
Jul 1 15:01:57 dt060n76 kernel: hda:hda: set_multmode: status=0x51
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Jul 1 15:01:57 dt060n76 kernel: hda: set_multmode: error=0x04
DriveStatusError }
Jul 1 15:01:57 dt060n76 kernel: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 >

I don't know enough about ide device driver programming to understand
everything going on in ide.c.

I can change #define FANCY_STATUS_DUMPS from 1 to 0 in ide.h to keep these
messages from showing up, but that really doesn't fix my problem.

Has anybody run into this before?

All help is appreciated,

Paul Fitzgerald
