HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

Who does use HDAPS (hdd shock protection)? I installed it recently from aur and managed to run it once, after that I can't make it run and get:

Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Starting hdapsd
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: WARNING: You did not supply any devices to protect, trying autodetection.
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Adding autodetected device: sda
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Could not find a suitable interface

or

sudo /etc/rc.d/hdapsd start
:: Starting hdapsd        [FAIL] 

added to rc.conf:

MODULES=(thinkpad_acpi thinkpad_ec acpi-cpufreq)
DAEMONS=(hal hdapsd @network @alsa)

HDAPS config cat:

#
# Settings for hdapsd
# 
# DEVICE specifies the device to monitor, defaults to 'sda'
#
# SENSITIVITY is self explanatory, defaults to '15'
#
# Set ADAPTIVE to 'yes' to enable adaptive threshold
# (automatic increase when the built-in keyboard/mouse are used).
#
# Set SYSLOG to 'yes' to have the daemon report errors to syslog
# (instead of stderr/stdout).
#
# Set FORCE to 'yes' to force the kernel to use the unload heads feature
# on some old hard drives for which support cannot be autodetected.
# (don't use this unless you're absolutely sure your hard drive
# really do support unloading heads)
#
DEVICE='/dev/sda'
SENSITIVITY='10'
#ADAPTIVE='yes'
SYSLOG='yes'
#FORCE='yes'

Any ideas?

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

this is what I have in rc.conf:

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(snd-usb-audio tp_smapi thinkpad_acpi thinkpad_ec !snd_pcsp !pcspkr loop powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_performance cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_powersave)

then DAEMONS:

DAEMONS=(dbus hal syslog-ng hdapsd tlp !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager @alsa @wicd)

dmesg tail gave me this:

[  226.531600] thinkpad_ec: thinkpad_ec_read_row: failed requesting row: (0x01:0x00)->0xfffffff0
[  226.531605] thinkpad_ec: initial ec test failed

seems like thinkpad EDGE(this is what I'm running) has some issues with it.

I don't think so, lsmod doesn't output any tp_smapi module to be loaded, seems like it fails.(

Unrelated sidenote: hal is not needed for anything anymore.

consolekit does not require hal. (unless your system is HORRIBLE outdated)

did you try modprobing tp_smapi?  what happens when you do?

You should really move away from blacklisting modules in rc.conf !!

this is not a reason for HDAPS not to work. (getting behind in current arch trends)

I wonder are there users here who actually use HDAPS on thinkpads now? Where are you guys?

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

Didn't say it was, but it seems that your system uses a mix of old conf files which may or may not cause other issues in the future.

I will fix it, of course.

Any of the newer Thinkpads are not currently supported by tp_smapi.

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

I use a T61p with tp_smapi..
Are you sure the modules where realy compiled using the current kernel and headers? Can you find them in /lib//modules/2.6.39-ARCH/... How did you install? I'd try reinstalling those packages.

Plus I find that I have to install tp_smapi anew every time I get a new kernel!?

EDIT:

Just did it on my T61 and it worked as advertised after reinstalling.

this is true for every additional kernel module, at least when there was a version update..

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

I am currently running Arch Linux on my ThinkPad X41.

I am having troubles trying to get tp_smapi work on my system after the full system update that I did yesterday. I jumped from (12.2010) 2.6.36 to kernel 2.6.39. Since yesterday, tp_smapi was working perfectly, but after the update, it seems that the new kernel cannot recognize the tp_smapi module. I tried to remove and insert it again with modprobe tp_smapi, but I am getting: "FATAL: Module tp_smapi not found" every time.

As I have build tp_smapi from AUR, I removed it with pacman -Rd tp_smapi and installed my package again. Even removed hdapsd and reinstalled it again after tp_smapi and I am getting the same - the module could not be found.

I saw that there is a slightly newer tp_smapi in AUR, but currently I am not able to build the package, as I am getting some build() errors like: "gcc: error -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible."
This PKGBUILD seems a patch for 2.6.37 kernel and probably could not build directly under the new kernel. Anyway, I am still not able to bring the good old tp_smapi to working condition.

Anyone with a working solution about this?

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

getting the same error and it seems like no solution so far.

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

What it the output of  `# modprobe thinkpad_ec`?  This module is required by tp_smapi

It is my understanding that tp_smapi has issues with the edge series Thinkpads.  See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Tp_smapi#Edge_series

Re: HDAPSD fails to load. Thinkpad users need help!

Just to be sure: Have you built tp_smapi using AUR (or some other method)?  Have you tried to build it and it fails?  If you've built it and it successfully finished, what is the output of `ls /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/extra/`?

Thanks,
Ryan

If it is on the list you're fine but I don't think it has been updated for a while...
