Hi Evgeni,
Thanks for your quick answer!
I indeed was using in-kernel hdaps. I compiled tp-smapi with
module-assistant, load it, and execute the daemon, and hdaps-gl started
working inmediately. It would be great if a warning of that kind could
be made explicit somewhere.
Afterwards I compiled the patched kernel and the protect seems to be
working as well... well, not quite everything since I only get "head
parked.." and "No pending I/O, re-enabling power management.." messages,
but not "head unparked..." messages. Is this expected?
Looking forward to have all of this working out-of-the-box!
Excellent work! Thank you!
Patricio
