According to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS#Kernel_patch, the current kernel will hang with the best-currently-known hdaps patch. But, also, someone seems to be working on getting hdaps into the mainline kernel.

Could you forward this upstream? It would be great to have, it saved all my data on my Thinkpad before when I dropped it. Also, more and more Laptops have similar technology.

That's fine, but until the situation changes, with either the kernel
providing support or hdapsd no longer needing it, please consider either
removing the hdapsd package from Ubuntu, or otherwise modify it to make
it clear to unsuspecting users that the package is only usable by people
maintaining their own kernels. At the moment, the presence of hdapsd
seems at best misleading, as the code is useless without kernel support,
as indicated by the package maintainer.

This is a huge invasive patch that touches core block layer, core scsi, core libata and core ide subsystems. That's way too scary for us to consider maintaining ourselves. The fact that the patch has been floating around through several kernel releases also concerns me (why isn't it upstream?). Declining on this basis.

I've opened a new task against the actively developed kernel which is currently the Hardy Heron kernel. However, please remember as I noted before that it is a lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree patches. As such they usually require evidence of upstream submission before considering to maintain community patches locally.

Thank you for your report and helping to make Ubuntu better. The patch you reference doesn't seem to be against, 2.6.22 but against 2.6.20. I believe you meant to reference this?: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/1077 However, that patch isn't even in the mainline kernel yet either. This puts a strain on the ubuntu kernel team having to maintain a separate out of tree patch. However, I'll leave this decision to them. For now, I'll tag this as 'hardy-kernel-candidate' so that we retarget this report against the upcoming Hardy kenrel release. However, against linux-source-2.6.20 this bug does not meet the criteria for a stable release update and is being marked as Won't Fix. You can learn more about the stable release update process at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .
