I turned smartd off, rebooted, and checked dmesg. The "errors" have disappeared. So they were generated by smartd. But this doesn't tell me if they had any validity :-(
The error messages your were seeing were NOT generated by smartd. Please read the smartd and smartctl man page. The error messages were generated by the ide driver. There may be something else wrong with your machine. Seeing a large number of errors on ALL drives indicates impending disaster.
