The HD is probably a Samsung (3.x G?). These hard disks say that they
support multmode (it's multiple sectors per interrupt when using pio modes)
and the max is 16. But they refuse to set it to 0, they want only positive
numbers for multmode. Perhaps 0 > 16 now? :-)

You can ignore the message, it does no harm AFAIK. Or you might want to use
default multmode of 16, not 0 (slight modification to the kernel).
This may not work with older HD-s though.
