I'd like the output of acpidump and dmidecode, please. Send them
directly to me (not to the list). Please mask out serial numbers and
UUIDs.
Now, let's try to fix the problem you're having. There were some
changes since 2.6.30 that made the driver much stricter about
autoloading.
Does the module load if you give it the "force_load=1" parameter?
If you stick
printk(TPACPI_NOTICE "some message");
inside various points of functions get_thinkpad_model_data() and
probe_for_thinkpad(), can you find out at which point your T23 is
failing the tests?
