To follow up:
All I found not commented out in smartd was the follow:
/dev/hda -H -m root at localhost.localdomain
I wasn't sure if that could have anything to do with the errors. I am
still rather a newbie at linux. So I just left it as it was.
I did have some success with adding the following to /etc/modules.conf :
alias block-major-135 off
alias block-major-134 off
alias block-major-133 off
alias block-major-132 off
alias block-major-131 off
alias block-major-130 off
alias block-major-129 off
alias block-major-128 off
alias block-major-71 off
alias block-major-70 off
alias block-major-69 off
alias block-major-68 off
alias block-major-67 off
All the errors are gone now.
Thanks,
AP
