IIRC, libata doesnt yet implement the raw IDE access (taskfile or 
somesuch?) needed to allow smartctl to work:

# smartctl -a /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.21 Copyright (C) 2002-3 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Device:   Version:
Serial number: WD-WMAES2172674
Device type: disk
Local Time is: Fri Aug  6 16:14:29 2004 IST
