i must say, tha ti have a ITE8212 RAId card on another pc, and get the same problem (smartd failed) !
The current smartd configuration in rawhide should make smartd not fail if some drive/driver doesn't support SMARTD. You can workaround your problem by simply removing the line with /dev/hde from the /etc/smartd.conf.
that's it : i put a #in front of the line /dev/hde smartd [ok] :) hope ite raid will be assumed by smart, one day ... (?) thx :)
