hi im looking for a way to get my harddrive protection running.
I know this website: http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/
I tried to install the source, but the compiling hdaps-20050825-02/kernel by typing make, i get this error:
| Quote: | error: `platform_bus_type' undeclared here (not in a function)
hdaps-20050825-02/kernel/hdaps.c:319: error: initializer element is not constant

hdaps basically seems to be unmaintained. I took a look at that error (which I could reproduce) and found a solution to get it compiled but I can't guarantee, of course, it will work as expected. I don't own a ThinkPad so you'll have to try yourself.
Below you'll find a patch to hdaps.c in the "kernel" directory. Basically, you just have to add the line prefixed by the plus ("+") sign. Then try compiling it again.
| Code: | --- hdaps.c~ 2005-08-26 03:22:43.000000000 +0200

hi.
yeah, that helped - i got it compiled. i loaded the driver and installed the gkrellm plugin, which gave me some data. but i guess there were totaly wrong. something there didn't work correctly. After rebooting and testing all again i had the problem, that the system was not able to take any inputs. No mouse, no keyboard... :S
Any idea? I guess that happened because this got never finished... - why??
Btw how did you found out, which library wasnt included? |

Well, hdaps hasn't been updated for almost a year and until someone comes along to work on it you should not expect to get it to work.

No, sorry, no idea. You might check the sf.net project, its forums, etc. Maybe you'll find some information there. I don't have access to any ThinkPad so I can help you get this stuff compiled but running it is something completely different.

Actually, it's just a header file. I simply examined the kernel sources and found out in which header file "platform_bus_type" is declared. Including it let the compiler find it and thus the kernel module could be compiled. |

The hdaps-driver for thinkpads is in the kernel. I don't know, when the support started, but it is supported in gentoo-sources-2.6.16.
| Code: | | Device-drivers->Hardware Monitoring Support->IBM Hard Drive Active Protection System (hdaps) |
But the patch for the 2.6.16-Kernel, which activates the disk-protection does not work for me.
