I had a perfectly working smart system: 'smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda' gave a meaningful result and smartd was running wiht my hardened-2.6.21 kernel. (I have an S-ATA drive.)

Now, once I have upgraded to hardened-2.6.22 kernel, smartd would not start and smartctl cannot communicate to the S.M.A.R.T. system of the drive:
Code:
# smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.36 [x86_64-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-6 Bruce Allen
Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Error SMART Status command failed

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options.


I have nVidia MCP55 SATA Controller and a Seagate S-ATA drive.

What could be the problem?
