tp_smapi stopped working

After the last kernel update, tp_smapi stopped working.
I loaded the out-of-date package "tp_smapi", which didnt compile.
tried the same PKGBUILD with version 0.38 and 0.39, both compile, but if i  try to modprobe one of them, i get the following:

WARNING: Error inserting thinkpad_ec (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/thinkpad_ec.ko): No such device or address
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/tp_smapi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmsg:

thinkpad_ec: cannot claim io ports 0x1600-0x161f
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_unlock
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_invalidate
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_read_row
tp_smapi: Unknown symbol thinkpad_ec_lock

What can i do? tp_smapi is really importent for every thinkpad user!
Thanks in advance!

So, you need to unload hdaps module (or at least load it *after* tp_smapi).

EDIT: I should say that here 0.39 works fine on 2.6.27 kernel.

Ooops, after restarting the System everything works fine (i guess unloading hdaps would have done the trick as well).
Thank you anyway!

Re: tp_smapi stopped working

Hi, I still can't get it working: both tp_smapi and hdaps load when I boot the kernel26tp (2.6.25), but with ARCH kernel26 (2.6.27) I can load EITHER hdaps OR tp_smapi, not both:

bash-3.2# modprobe hdaps
bash-3.2# modprobe tp_smapi
WARNING: Error inserting thinkpad_ec (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/thinkpad_ec.ko): No such device or address
FATAL: Error inserting tp_smapi (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/tp_smapi.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
bash-3.2# modprobe -r hdaps
bash-3.2# modprobe tp_smapi
bash-3.2# modprobe hdaps
FATAL: Error inserting hdaps (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko): No such device or address

Any advice? Thx in advance...

Re: tp_smapi stopped working

The one modprobe is trying to insert (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hwmon/hdaps.ko) is the one which comes with the stock kernel, and that one won't work with tp_smapi. tp_smapi needs a patched hdaps; if you used the tp_smapi package from AUR, then a patched hdaps module is in (/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/hdaps.ko). Use that one.

works

why is hdaps so important? do you like throwing your tp around?

Re: tp_smapi stopped working

Great, that works, thanks!

Perhaps I just want to have all features working And I thought it is good for harddrive to have hdaps on if you work on a bus or train; is it not?

And - this might be a silly question, but how do I tell the /etc/rc.conf that it should load the patched hdaps, not the one that comes with stock kernel? Thanks...
