I'm specifically looking for something that will reveal the serial
number of each SATA drive.
-

     

hdparm (modified to run against libata SCSI drives) does show the serial
number:

[root@c001n01 root]# hdparm -I /dev/sda

/dev/sda:

ATA device, with non-removable media
       Model Number:       Maxtor 6B300S0
       Serial Number:      B60J1DTH
       Firmware Revision:  BANC1B70
   

and where is that patch?...

 

If you look at the hdparm homepage 
(http://freshmeat.net/projects/hdparm/)  you will see a thread on this - 
you need a kernel that supports libata passthru,
