I was getting very similar SMART results, and kernel errors, when used
PATA drive and SATA_VIA (no freezes or hangs though):


SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off

The problem was that I started smartd with wrong parameters:

DEVICESCAN -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././10|L/../../6/11)


It was solved when I added "-d sat" to smartd parameters:

DEVICESCAN -d sat -a -o on -S on -s (S/../.././10|L/../../6/11)


From that time on, smartctl -a /dev/sda gives "normal" output, and no
more strange kernel errors.

Hopefully, it'll get fixed in smartmontools soon (or is fixed already,
but not yet mainline).
