I recently got a new hard drive. It's a Maxtor Diamondmax 3.2G UDMA 
(my mobo does not support UDMA, oh well). It seems to work OK. Here's
what dmesg says at boot: 


wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff80ff on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 83240D3>, 32-bit, multi-block-16
wd0: 3090MB (6328665 sectors), 6697 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S

But after a while, I get a message like this:

wd0s1e: reverting to non-multi sector mode reading fsbn 40816 of 
40656-40895 (wd0s1 bn 405360; cn 25 tn 59 sn 18)wd0: 
status 51<rdy,seekdone,err> error 4<abort>

Is this something I should worry about? As I said, it seems to be
working, but I never see this with my other disk.

Greg
