Is it safe to ignore this .fc8 kernel error?

Hello all,

I approved the 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 kernel, but I am noticing this as of the 
last few kernels (through .58, I think):

/dev/sda :
     Prefailure: Seek_Error_Rate (7) changed to
       73,
     Usage: Airflow_Temperature_Cel (190) changed to
       59, 60, 59, 60, 61, 60, 61, 62, 61, 62,
     Usage: Hardware_ECC_Recovered (195) changed to
       63, 64, 63, 64, 63, 64, 63, 64, 63, 64, 65, 64,
       65, 64, 65, 64, 65, 64, 65, 63, 64, 65, 63, 64,
       65, 64, 65, 64, 65,
     Usage: Temperature_Celsius (194) changed to
       41, 40, 41, 40, 39, 40, 39, 38, 39, 38,

  **Unmatched Entries**
  Drive: DEVICESCAN, implied '-a' Directive on line 28 of file
/etc/smartd.conf
  Problem creating device name scan list
  Device /dev/sda: using '-d sat' for ATA disk behind SAT layer.

I know that there was a kernel problem reading the core temperatures 
properly (and yes, I have smartd enabled). But what about the " Problem 
creating device name scan list" error? I don't understand the errors I am 
seeing here. Anyone have any ideas or comments?
