After installing and configuring hdaps I was able to run it once, after rebooting and trying to run it, hdapsd failed to load.
added to rc.conf:
Code: Select all
MODULES=(thinkpad_acpi thinkpad_ec acpi-cpufreq)
DAEMONS=(hal hdapsd @network @alsa)
the messages I get:
Code: Select all
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Starting hdapsd
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: WARNING: You did not supply any devices to protect, trying autodetection.
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Adding autodetected device: sda
Tue Jun 21 10:53:13 2011: Could not find a suitable interface
or
Code: Select all
sudo /etc/rc.d/hdapsd start

kernel dmesg tail:
Code: Select all

Any ideas?

Very strange indeed, the very first time I installed hdaps, I managed to run it via "/etc/rc.d/hdapsd start" successfully. But later it just do not start at all. So as tp_smapi module.

Question: I see you have kernel 2.6.39... did you originally get hdaps working with THIS kernel, or did you update after (like in the last 18 days)?
looking at history, the kernel has quite often broke hdaps/tp_smapi... most often in ARCH btw

Well, I also was thinking about that. Yes I updated the system twice, last time there were no kernel updates, just some deps and apps. Very probably it got broken after the first update, but I am not so sure about that too.
I remember this kind of posts recently on ubuntu forums, where ppl just could not make hdaps work, and didn't get any decent workaround of this issue. And there is a fresh post on thinkwiki about hdaps failure(the very same as I'm experiencing) on thinkpad EDGE.

Yea, I would 1st definately try downgrading the kernel if you had no good reason to update it in the 1st place... try to get back to the one you were at before when hdaps worked the one time.

downgrading the kernel on arch really is not a good way-out, but it seems to me that, we just have to wait for an update. Anyway thanks to everyone, who tried to help

Hrm.. Don't ARCH keep older kernels in the Grub list for a while? I don't have a clue as I mainly use Debian/Ubuntu and it's quite easy normally to boot into an older kernel.
Anyhoo, good luck on hoping it will bee soon sorted by the devs
(be sure to update this when/if it does get sorted to help the Google'ers out
)

Gotta love how quickly Linux devs seem to sort stuff out... better then other OS's where you just have to live with quirks forever

Seems they are often as good at breaking stuff as they are quick at fixing it though

The worst part I hate about upgrading Linux is when you wait a LONG time to do it. Just went from Mythbuntu 9.04 to 11.04 on my television... I had been customizing it for 2 years now... there were SOOOO many config files changed and SEVERAL of the newer drivers/daemons had new syntax... took like 4 hours to sort through all the changes.
One notable one was the LCDd for my USB CrystalFontz... there was a single setting that is yes/no on rebooting the LCD on init... has been NO for years... now it needs YES... all links on the net still point to NO... what a pain that was
I generally only upgrade when I have GOOD reason to do so. And it is prefixed/followed by LOTS of reading.
