Hello.

When my system boots, I get several set_drive_speed_status errors.
(Please see attached dmesg output.)
Can someone explain what they mean? How do I get rid of them?
IDE code attempts to autotune PIO mode and fails at that because
your device is too old (or its manufacturer was too lazy) to support
ATA-2 (or EIDE from marketing PoV) is its full glory.
But the data sheet seems to state the drive supports PIO modes 1 and 2?
So what? PIO mode != ATA spec version. ATA-1 specified modes 0 thru 2.
Is there something I need to set in the config? or something I should
not have set?
No, it just means that the IDE code is *too young* to support such
pre-EIDE devices. :-D
Wow! This is a device that was purchased only a few months ago...
I think we'll take care of it soon -- as I said we've discovered pre-EIDE
disk support lately, just before your report...

That means that you've managed to find pre-EIDE/ATA hardware which
doesn't support setting arbitrary PIO modes. What's funny is that
recently being discussed here, so expect a patch RSN. :-)
In 2.6.23?
Yeah, hopefully.
The mode interesting question is how to diable IORDY throrling on host if
a device doesn't have it connected (that was addressed by Alan in libata, IIRC.
Regards.
MBR as well. :-)
