[newbie] SeekComplete error

[DJ]

Hello
 When doing make config in kernel 2.2.9 there was an option in Block Devices
(use multi-mode by default) that when set to Y  fixed the error message:

hdb:hdb: set_multimode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb:  set_multimode:  error=0x04  {DriveStatusError }

 The option isnt in Block Devices for kernels 2.2.13-7 or -9.. Where did it go
or what else fixes the error? 

thanks DJ
