Okay, I tried the server kernel on the system with the nforce3 chipset (storage2 machine), and it still produces the following output and does not work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# smartctl --device=ata -s on /dev/sda smartctl version 5.36 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ === START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION === SMART Enabled.

To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. So it seems it may be chipset related... are there any fixes that can be backported to feisty?
