pretty sure "smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sdwhatever" will tell you the

Yep... 2.6.15 or better... I need the magical patch =\.
Any other options?
If you have an up dated copy of hdparm, you can use it against libata
"SCSI" drives to get the serial number:
# hdparm -V
hdparm v5.7
# hdparm -I /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
ATA device, with non-removable media
Model Number: Maxtor 7L320S0
Serial Number: L616D6YH
Firmware Revision: BACE1G70
(and so on....)
