Hi Patricio, sorry if the reply to both of your mail-adresses is too much :) On Sun, 02 Mar 2008 01:59:55 -0300 Patricio Rojo wrote: > I indeed was using in-kernel hdaps.

However I am wondering why the in-kernel hdaps said it loaded successfully but did not work (it should not load at al in such a situation). > 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? Yeah that is okay. I hope you are not using kernel 2.6.24, this has a very bad bug which will freeze your machine time from time when hdaps is enabled. > Looking forward to have all of this working out-of-the-box! The big out-of-the-box problem is the kernel patch. As you see, it can be dangerous to use it, so just patching the distribution kernels with it is probably a bad idea. But also the kernel-guys seem not to be very interested in this support, so there is only one person who polishes the patch for newer kernels - not enough for inclusion into mainline :( The whole thinkpad community is hoping for that day, so please wait with us :) Regards Evgeni
