Antwort: Re: hdaps (accelerator) driver for thinkpads

Hi Tobias,

could you try this patch agains thinkpad_ec.c Version 030_04092006. It 
disables the SMBIOS/DMI stuff.

Let me know if that makes a difference.

Thanks


Maik

sure! im really interested in getting this thing working :)

i think this is the problem, your driver seems to work for i386 only,
but at the moment i'm not experienced enough to be able to fix this and
maybe there is some more work to do to get it running under amd64. so i
would really appreciate it if you or someone else could help me here :)

i can test it for you and hopefully i will be able to post some
backtraces and debug info if i have set up some solution to my core
dumping problem under zfs root.

surely will follow soon i hope, but this weekend i won't have any time
unfortunately.
