I have two computers (Dell PowerEdge 400SC, the other homemade) and both
of them have an SATA drives.  Previously, the SATA drives were running
in IDE emulation mode in the Bios, and SMART worked prefectly.  They are
now both running in native SATA mode, and SMART has stopped working :( 
The other IDE drive in the systems still reports info correctly with
smartctl.

Any ideas anyone?

smartctl --info /dev/sda
smartctl version 5.21 Copyright (C) 2002-3 Bruce Allen

Device does not support SMART


Thanks,
Phil
