+ bool "Use multiple sector mode for Programmed Input/Output by default"
+ help
+ This setting is irrelevant for most IDE disks, with direct memory
+ access, to which multiple sector mode does not apply. Multiple sector
+ mode is a feature of most modern IDE hard drives, permitting the
+ transfer of multiple sectors per Programmed Input/Output interrupt,
+ rather than the usual one sector per interrupt. When this feature is
+ enabled, it can reduce operating system overhead for disk Programmed
+ Input/Output. On some systems, it also can increase the data
+ throughput of Programmed Input/Output. Some drives, however, seemed
+ to run slower with multiple sector mode enabled. Some drives claimed
+ to support multiple sector mode, but lost data at some settings.
+ Under rare circumstances, such failures could result in massive
+ filesystem corruption.

+ If you get the following error, try to say Y here:
hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
