smartd is probably not configured properly.  Add an entry for each one of your 
hard disks to /etc/smartd.conf

/dev/hda -a -m your.address at example.com
/dev/hdb -a -m your.address at example.com

If you still get errors, look in /var/log/boot.log and/or /var/log/messages to 
see what it's complaining about.
