 I think that here is something wrong. What Can I do to Fix it.

Upgrade to a newer kernel where those commands are permitted. You are looking
for 2.6.12-rc2 or newer.

It's nothing to worry about for now though.

does that mean that kernel =2.6.12-rc2 will have better support for
SATA? I guess that Khan had a sata-drive.
Today, hddtemp and smartctl are, from what I have noticed, unusable with
sata-drives.

As always, SATA support improves with every kernel release.
