Hi Evgeni,

    Thanks for your quick answer!  

  I indeed was using in-kernel hdaps.  I compiled tp-smapi with
module-assistant, load it, and execute the daemon, and hdaps-gl started
working inmediately.  It would be great if a warning of that kind could
be made explicit somewhere.

  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?

   Looking forward to have all of this working out-of-the-box!

   Excellent work!  Thank you!

                         Patricio
