Thanks for the report. It seems that accessing the SMAPI BIOS on your system causes problems problems with the hard disk subsystem. Are you using ACPI? -- Thomas Hood |

ok, Maybe it's just a bad coincidence, and configure-thinkpad hasn't
anything to do with it. But it happened exactly then when i started it
up the first time. (I have no idea how it would be able to do that).
Well i compiled the tool.
Started it up.
And in this moment the computer stopped to reacted, the mp3 stopped
playing, and nothing worked anymore, after a while it reacted again, but
really slowly.
As i saw the root filesystem got remounted read-only.
And in Syslog i had following errors (there have been more, but they
haven't been saved on the harddisk):
Aug 10 21:01:28 localhost kernel: thinkpad: I have registered to handle
major: 10 minor: 170.

Aug 10 21:01:59 localhost kernel: ATA: abnormal status 0xD0 on port 0x1F7
Aug 10 21:01:59 localhost last message repeated 2 times
well i had the greate idea: well just restart. and everything will be ok
again.
well it wasn't!
Lilo wasn't able to find any filesystem anymore on the root partition
(the home partition has been just fine, even it's on the same HDD).
With a live cd i found out that there seems to be no filesystem left.
Well with the fsck tools i've been ablte to recover it again. But a lot
of files (specially config files) have been missing.
I used it on a
Thinkpad T43
Debian testing
kernel 2.6.11
reiserfs
if you want more informations, just ask...
i don't know if everything just has been a bad coincidence. But i'm not
willing to try it out again, since i need to do some work with my
laptop.. not playing around.
Only wanted to report that. Maybe there's a little bug?
greetings

Lots of scary warnings, but seems to work correctly.
This is on a standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux v4 distribution, i.e.
kernel 2.6.9.x and GCC 3.4.3
FYI.

Hi all, this is my first message to this list.
First of all I'm using a IBM R50e (forgot to mention this before)
Below are included the mail I sent to Thomas Hood and his kind reply.
My question is, since I can only use the SMAPI, which functions are available to me?
Suspend/Hibernation is a must for me, and till now the only working option is the software suspend, and it is quite slow and buggy for me.
I'm higly disappointed by power management features of this laptop. This is my fourth IBM, an i never thought that they could cut-off the apm and acpi support.
Something else I forgot to mention - when I exec
`acpitool -s`
the laptop suspends successfully when I try to resume it, it hangs.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my bad english.

Hi!
I am trying to use the tpctl 4.14 and thinkpad 5.5 on gentoo with kernel

I haven't be able to make the suspend/hibernate functions to work till now.
No apm bios either, so the only option for me is the software hibernate

What could be done to make the acpi functions work with thinkpad/tpctl?

This is most probably a misbehavior of the ThinkPad's firmware. You could try upgrading it if you don't have the latest. Otherwise all I can advise you to do is to disable ampiser. :/ -- Thomas Hood |

There is something strange going on with my IBM Thinkpad 600e running Fedora Core 2: when I start the apmiser service, the previously active DPMS settings are not applied anymore to my external TTF-display. In particular, it is not possible to put the monitor into the DPMS "off" mode. The screen turns blank after the the indicated period of time, but it refuses to switch off. As soon as I stop apmiser, the monitor behaves normally which is indicated by the power LED turning from green to yellow after some time as it should. |

It's not "noacpi". Use acpi=off

Hi Cheuksan,
Thanks for the hint. I seem to indeed have ACPI compiled in the
kernel. I have tried to boot the system with a noacpi appended to the
kernel, but it seems that it does not help. Please see dmesg output
below.
I guess it is time to recompile the kernel without the ACPI support in
it. I'll report back in a day or two how it went.
Greetings

Are you using ACPI? If you are, please turn it off. You can't use
tpctl with ACPI.
We should make this an FAQ.

Hello tpctl-list,
I have some questions about the tpctl and the ThinkPad G40.
Im running Debian testing/unstable mix, with a 2.6.6 kernel (a very
stripped down knoppix install)
I installed the debian packages with tpctl (which is, I belive up to
date with the sourceforge ones)
There are a number of functions I can not get to work, and I was
wondering whether this is a misconfiguration on my part, or are these
limitations of the machine.
This is all I can get out of it. No hibernate, suspend or any of that
fancy stuff.
Any hints, or should I just give up, and use it as a desktop
replacement ( as it is probably meant to be used)
If there is anything else I should try, pleas let me know
Greetings
Igor

Use PS2.EXE or setpnp to enable the serial port. See the "Resource
configuration tools" section of the tpctl home page for more information

Hi,
I am new on this list. Sorry, if I am asking a faq. I have checked the
archive, the web and groups.google but couldn't find a soulution for my
problem.
I'm running debian woody on a ThinkPad 760ED. The kernel ist 2.4.27.
The problem is that I can't use the serial and parallel port, because
superio fails to find the Super I/O chip.
What I've done:
First tried to use the debian-Packages (thinkpad-base, thinkpad-source,
tpctl). Compiled thinkpad_modules as described. tpctl worked fine
beside the problem with superio.
Then I deinstalled all the debian stuff and got me the latest sources
from sourceforge (thinkpad_5.8.tar.gz and tpctl_4.15.tar.gz). The
compilation and installation finished without problems. tpctl also
works fine, but I still have the same problems with superio:
# tpctl --rx
resource state: ioaddr irq# able? mode/power
superio: Super I/O chip not found. :-(
tpctl: module required for request is not loaded.
# modprobe superio
thinkpad: I have registered to handle major: 10 minor: 170.
superio: Super I/O chip not found. :-(
/lib/modules/2.4.27/thinkpad/superio.o: init_module: Unknown error 1025
[...]
# insmod superio
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27/thinkpad/superio.o
/lib/modules/2.4.27/thinkpad/superio.o: unresolved symbol thinkpad_ppde
Is thinkpad_ppde not just needed for 2.6.x? Could this be the problem?
In the thinkpad-source the 2.4-tree is selected:

SMAPI BIOS interface revision 0.86
video BIOS revision: 1.00
slave controller revision: 1.8
Could the BIOS be the problem? It seems to be quite old.
When I bought the ThinkPad (secondhand) a few weeks ago, I tested the
parallel port with the installed Win95, because I have a win-only
printer here, which I wanted to test before I sell it. The printer
worked, so I assume there is nothing wrong with the superio-chip. I
don't have any Windows here anymore, but if it is necessary to test
the ports again, I will try to get one. The floppy is working, only
the serial and parallel ports don't work. I didn't test IrDA though.
Thanks for your help,
Martin

Thanks for the report. I don't know what the problem is -- I have never run a kernel of any version number higher than 2.6.8.1. I don't see how tpctl or its related modules could have anything to do with the problem you describe. --=20 Thomas Hood <jd...@ya...> |

Hi,
I moved from a 2.6.8.1 kernel + thinkpad-5.5 to a 2.6.9 + thinkpad-5.8
setup and experienced annoying problems with the internal monitor that
sometimes refused to light on on resuming. Switching to console, pressing
Fn-F7, going back to X sometimes fixed the problem, suspending the laptop
again and resuming it was another "option", though not 100% reliable
neither.
Now I am using thinkpad-5.8 on a 2.6.8.1 kernel and I could flawlessly
suspend/resume several times with no such problems. The problem seems to =
be
interaction with 2.6.9, but what kind of testing I could do to make sure =
of
that ?
This is a T41 and a vanila kernel + bootsplash patch.
PS: please CC your answer to me. Thanks.

The latest thinkpad-source deb is only version 5.5. This doesn't work with kernels later than 2.6.8.1 . -- Thomas Hood |

Hi,
I tried to compile thinkpad modules (version 5.7) under 2.6.9-rc2-bk10
kernel, but with no success.
The first way (via make-kpkg modules_image) do not produce .deb file.
(output at the end of this mail).
The second way (via make all) gives folloving errors:

Hi.
Just saw that a new version of the modules came out which claims to fix the
compilation problems on the newer kernels.
It compiled without problems here on 2.6.9-rc2 but it doesn't work for me on
my T41p. Older kernel versions like 2.6.8 don't cause any problems, but with
the new kernel nothing works.
For example:
tpctl -Z
tpctl: SMAPI BIOS error 0x91 ("system is invalid") -- exiting.
Anything else like tpb doesn't work either, but the modules load O.K.:
thinkpad: I have registered to handle major: 10 minor: 170.
thinkpadpm: Found APM BIOS version 1.2 flags 0x03 entry 0xb8:0x59ac. :-)
smapi: 32-bit protected mode SMAPI BIOS found. :-)
Any clue?

You only need /dev/thinkpad. Under Linux 2.4 with devfs an additional device appeared under /dev/thinkpad/ for each module that was loaded. It was thus possible to access each module directly (rather than via the thinkpad module and the /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad device file) by opening its like-named device file. This was just a nice feature which, with further development, could have led to the modules becoming completely independent of one another. I was going to complete the module separation when devfs became standard. Instead of devfs becoming standard it became deprecated in Linux 2.6. Thus, in the drivers for Linux 2.6 the special devfs-related code was stripped out. This means that under Linux 2.6 no additional device files appear under /dev/thinkpad/ even if devfs is enabled. It means that all module functions must be done via the thinkpad module and the thinkpad device file. tpctl always used /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad or /dev/thinkpad to do all its work so all of the above should be irrelevant to whether or not tpctl works. > Are the modules intended to work with udev? Yes. -- Thomas Hood |
