Thanks for the reply.
What does this package do? Would it give a more detailed report on what
is going on? This is what I gather from "apt-cache show". Actually, I
am not sure if I would have SMART support on this computer or not. I
don't recall any mention of SMART in regard to my HD (repeating,
WD-400BB), and if the computer is supposed to provide anything of it,
mine probably won't - it's a very old P-166 about 10 yrs old or more.
This is something that has never happened before (AFAIK), and the logs
for the boot don't show any problems in detection of hda.

If you think it might help I will give it a try.
