Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
On my ASUS A8N-VM CSM motherboard my PATA harddisks are reported OK but the SATA drives are not. Requestingall S.M.A.R.T. info from the drive result in an error like the one below. On the older kernel (2.6.20-14.22) the output is fine.
smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda

the PATA drives are ok. I have 5xSATA drives on 2 "RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3114 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)"
the drives are Maxtor 6V300F0 (300gb sata drives)
