I'll disable the probing in karmic for now; it's not really critical for the system to work, it will just disable the warnings that you'll get for potential disk failures from SMART. But that's much better than the current situation.

I will check the smartmontools code what they do differently. The problem does not happen on my two computers (one HDD, one SSD), so I'd really appreciate if someone affected could give me ssh access to such a system? (second key on https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+sshkeys).

With that we at least have some more time to figure out a proper fix in libatasmart. I'll start with pursuing the IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE path as suggested by Jean-Louis, thanks for that!
