Enable AHCI > no SMART?

I recently got around to installing AHCI drivers on my laptop (ICH7), and to my disappointment I can no logner read smart data off my hard drive. This happened with my desktop's jmicron controller as well. Does enabling AHCI somehow preclude smart from working?

Thanks for your help.
 
Yes this is common on some systems.
 
I have mine set for AHCI and I can still get SMART data off of it - I can't possibly imagine how those two features would be mutually exclusive, the drive is designed to be SMART capable and AHCI capable so why wouldn't they work together?
 
No problems with AHCI and SMART here. Sure, I'm using a newer ICH9R southbridge but that shouldn't make any difference. SMART has been around a long time and I don't see any way that AHCI wouldn't take advantage of SMART features.
