I am not sure everything is supported yet under BC. On my MBPs there are no yellow bangs in the device manager, but that may not be true for each and every Mac.
Not sure what the sm bus controller is, but you might google around for drivers or whatever it needs.
I assume you have already clicked 'update driver' in the device manager and got the usual not found or whatever.
If you check on the Leopard side what the controller is, who makes it, etc., you might be able to finagle a driver for it. I had to do that when I first installed Vista Ult 64-bit on this box during the beta days when it was unsupported.
Meanwhile someone else may chime in with a fix.
The very fact that your install went practically without a hitch should make those who are skeptical about BC change their mind. If it's done properly with preparation, as you have done, it works.
It's an Intel System Management Bus controller. Are you sure your firmware on the motherboard is completely up to date?

I also notice you are only running 10.5.1 which might be part of the problem???
