Re: what is SM Bus Controller?
The SM bus could be the security chip...or it could also be the chipset driver.
Try installing the intel chipset driver located here

For the unknown device its probably the IBM power management driver. Get that from here

There is no place to download the cds. You can call ibm and tell them you deleted your recovery partition and they will send you them..but they are the same as the recovery partition which is taking up some of your space.
You can run that..it will fix your driver problem but it will format your HDD and bring it back to factory defaults.
If you want to delete that partition, there is a way in the BIOS to unhide it. I think its in the security option in the BIOS

If your model has it, it would be located on the front left of your thinkpad if it is facing you opened.
