Here's a patch for 2.6.22: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/993 + + Without this patch, the hdapsd package is completely useless. -- hdaps_protect patch to enable disk head parking on thinkpads https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139881 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
