[solved] gsmartcontrol and lshw have problems with my HDs

When I use gsmartcontrol in archlinux, my hard drives are listed as unknown models. They are not listed in lshw. I can use both hard drives without a problem. lsblk, df,... show them correctly.
My hard drives are listed correctly in gsmartcontrol and lshw when I run gsmartcontrol and lshw from the Parted Magic Livecd.
Does this mean that I have a problem? Can I gnore it?

Problem 'solved'. HDs were recognized correctly when I ran gsmartcontrol with root privileges.
