Right, if it's a kernel module (which I do think it must be) -- but, what IS it? What does it do? I don't remember ever having seen it in my kernel config. Never even seen reference to it before today.
EDIT: OK, yes it is a kernel module, but still cannot quite decide what it's for; Using Google, I see it referred to in both config/ACPI/cpufreq and in config/x86/ sections.

LOL, hows that for inspiring .. From the 'VIA Cyrix processor Longhaul Driver' code which looks like something to do with CPU frequency & voltage adjustment and/or bus speeds..

With a little more tinkering with hdparm I was able to determine that
the drives on the built-in controller and the primary bus of the PCI
controller were both in DMA mode, the former in udma4 and the latter
in udma3. The originally problematic drive (the one giving the
MULTWRITE_EXT errors) was in PIO mode, though "hdparm -d1 /dev/hdi"
"fixed" that problem and resulted in a drastic increase in drive bus
speed as measured by "hdparm -tT".
This is why I post this thread --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=551630(This thread also made me confusing, gonna be more complicated as well, I guess)
Before that my thread ("DMA problem"), I also found in other site that MULTWRITE_EXT is somehow related to DMA, but because I wasn't fully understand those stuff and my thought was MULTWRITE_EXT with DMA should be no relation, I didn't bookmark that site.
And made me more confuse which step I should go first. Set DMA off in kernel? Or stick to DMA activation in my other thread? BIOS ? kernel bug and so report it ? Chipset controller ? ACPI ? and I also ever thought about to use ext3 rather than reiserfs, remember? Is this really related to MULTWRITE_EXT error?
Any clue again guys? I guess next time I will post my BOOT setup menus. Seems I can't use "print screen button", I will write it down, and post it here, I want to know where is exactly to set PIO or DMA.
3 - The Multi-Sector-Write can also be disabled using hdparm -m0 /dev/hda, *however* I can't say whether simply issuing the command tothe drive may also cause it to freak out.. It won't damage anything, but the drive might not like the command.
Before you mentioned this, my multcount already 0, well, I didnt set it, then who? hehe
So, I guess, I should try your solution to put hda=samsung-xxxxxx in my LILO, but um....still don't know how to get that "xxxxxx" information. Using "smartctl --all /dev/hda" OK or not?
OK, Why is Tje using "HDA" yet Alien refers to "SDA" (sata) ?? Which is it?
Yeah... I am thinking that the 'hda=samsung xxx' thing *may* only be for the smartctl command, and not for use in LILO; atleast, that's what it looks like so far, after having done some browsing about LILO and boot prompt arguments, I cannot locate the same thing in reference to LILO.
The filesystem type (reiser, ext2 or ext3) should have no bearing on this issue.
Likely the MULTIWRITE and DMA errors, whether directly related or not, *are* both the result of something else, whether it's bus speed, firmware bug, kernel config, I don't know..
The BIOS info screen on my machine only shows itself for like a second, so unless the machine hangs for some reason, I can barely see it. One way I did find to get it to stay on the screen for a while, was to disable ALL boot devices in the BIOS. This made the machine hang because there was nowhere for it to get an OS from but with any luck there is a better way to see the info on your machine.
If you can get the info from your BIOS POST screen during boot, particularly the DMA/UDMA/PIO value for this device, that would be good. It's difficult, you will probably need a camera, or pencil and paper because as you can see, the printscreen stuff won't work.
Again, I don't know for sure, but it doesn't really look like an ACPI thing. And also, hold off on reporting a bug, because the issue is not new, and is already known about; the question really is whether or not there is a working solution for you.

He has hda, mine is sda. There are differences how hdparm works for these types of hard disks. Dma is already on on (is it correct?) SATA hdds and I can't check what happens if I set dma mode too high.

Wow, I haven't reboot though ( to see my BIOS POST information ). It was because a minute ago my system crashes again as usual, and as usual I leave it and as usual depressed and time to for my SLEEP to bed, BUT and BUT, roughly 20 minutes the system resumed,. Really surprising, this is my second time like this to happened. This is better than I force to shut down my laptop by hold the power button 5 seconds. And better than when I used 2.6.20 kernel that if the system crashed and I just leave it, the system shut by itself.
GrapefruiTgirl said that "because the issue is not new, should not to report bug first." But is there any possibility that the bug comes out again in another situation ? ( as in my situation...). Although I am not kernel developer but I have done many programming languages before, despite programming languages, my experience shows me to conclude that a SAME BUG of program might be occur on another occasion/situation that I never realized before.
Abut this time, this problem, this thread, the developer might not ever include my situation. But it is also might be that the patch already include in any situation so the bug won't occur anymore, never ever, forever.
As you said

I guess again, I should reboot and see my BIOS POST, right?
Definitely would be handy to know what DMA/UDMA/PIO mode the BIOS is starting up the drive in, yes.
And as for the bug issue, I see your point, and it is up to you if you report it as a bug; I know little about kernel programming or C programming, so you may have a far better idea than I do whether it is a good idea to report it as such and I agree, of course bugs can pop up in a variety of situations which had not as yet been identified. It wouldn't hurt to submit the relevant data from your machine and from this thread, to the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) somewhere.
Meanwhile, see if you can get the info from BIOS post, and see what mode is the drive booting in
"And also, hold off on reporting a bug, because the issue is not new, and is already known about; the question really is whether or not there is a working solution for you."
I got an interesting message from dmesg:
"PCI: Bus #0b (-#0e) is hidden behind transparent bridge #0a (-#0a) (try 'pci=assign-busses')
Please report the result to linux-kernel to fix this permanently"
Is this related to my problem? Seems only one row tells me to report the result to linux-kernel. Or did I missed something else to report linux-kernel? The list of dmesg too long anyway.
Here is the full version, sorry for the long listing

OK, I was hoping we could actually get the information from your COMPUTER, not from the Linux Kernel. Like when you turn it on, and then usually you can either get a splash picture at the start, or a screen full of BIOS junk.. Not this.
However As you can see in the above piece that I copied, there is definitely not happiness prevailing on your IDE bus. I'm not sure what to make of this, but there is obviously some trouble with the IDE devices.
Not sure what to do from here, but still thinking.. Hopefully some other thinkers will have ideas too
But you know a little about kernel programming, to me is zero. hehe So, it should you know this better than me. Anyway, I don't know how to report kernel bug. Maybe later I join LKML. Wow, joining kernel mailing list without knowing any kernel programming. ( a little exited here, hehe...ok...focus on my problem )
Oh yeah, I should post about my BIOS. Here we go:

EXIT Well, you know what this means..
Now, Seems there is no information can help me now.... so sad....
You see, my BIOS setup too simple !! It is really different with the "Desktop" one
OK, IF you have high speed internet, and IF you are able to compile a new kernel without too much trouble, here's an idea.. The kernel you are using is BRAND spanking new..
If you would, try reverting back to a kernel something like 2.6.20-13 or EARLIER. The reason, which is surely not a guarantee, but worth a try, is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...20/+bug/106063
Near the bottom of that page, a post by 'sertmann' where there is very similar output to yours (a small sample anyways) and for him, the problem was worked around by changing BACK from 2.6.20-15 to 2.6.20-13, and no other changes. Something tells me that something got broken, for some machines, at some point during the latest kernels. Maybe they know, and maybe it is being fixed, but it would be worth a try to go back (even to 2.6.20) and see if the problem goes away.
