Can't load tp_smapi?

When I type "make load" in extracted tp_smapi installing directory, it shows a problem:

bash-3.2# make load
Makefile:25: *** This driver requires kernel 2.6.19 or newer, and matching kernel sources. You may need to override KVER=2.6.25-ARCH or KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/source or KBUILD=/lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/build or MOD_DIR=/lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/kernel.  Stop.

How can I get the kernel sources? It seems that pacman doesn't provide src packages.
Thanks for your help!

Why don't you use the AUR package for tp_smapi (that works for me, and it has a patch supplied which fixes some directories, probably exactly the problem you have with it)?

Thank you!
Another question: How to know whether hdaps is running?
After I type "insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/extra/hdaps.ko" , no message displayed.
It exists in lsmod, but how I get disk's information?
And why dose "modprobe -a hdaps" return a wrong message?
So only insmod is able.

Re: Can't load tp_smapi?

Arch kernel is shipped with its own hdaps module (/lib/modules/2.6.25-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko), which is not patched for thinkpads. modprobe tries to load this one; that's why one needs to 'insmod ...' the patched one. [If you want to be able to use the patched hdaps module with modprobe, see the link I posted on AUR page.]

Now, as far as I understand, hdaps module by itself doesn't do any disk management, you need hdapsd (a daemon, it's also in AUR) to do that. There's some info on thinkwiki.
