thinkpad_acpi
« on: January 04, 2011, 04:51:53 PM »
How can I load this?

# modprobe thinkpad_acpi
modprobe: can't load module thinkpad_acpi (kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko.gz): unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter

It appears to have a param "force_load:Attempts to load the driver even on a mis-identified ThinkPad when true (bool)", but I would think twice before attempting so, better research other options first.

I don't think it is mis-identified, the module doesn't get loaded...

"unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter"
I guess I will have to recompile that module. I already had a go once, but forgot the modules and then rebooted.

Edit: Well, it seems to depend on the alsa and hwmon extensions.

Should be moved to an extension.

By the way,
there is this sorter.sh script which creates those module extensions.
How do you decide whic one to have in base?

Everything that is considered base functionality (wired networking among other things), or is small and doesn't depend on something big already decided to be an extension (e.g. alsa).

Relatively arbitrary criteria, but we're always listening if you have suggestions.

Wow, this is so stupid, why do these suckers want alsa?
I don't want to blacklist all this stuff, just so that I can control my fans if I modprobe thinkpad_acpi with some experimental option.
Then I'd rather have them running all day, I'll just turn my OSS music a bit louder, so that I won't hear it.

Perhaps we should put soundcore in base. Although I don't like this solution very much.

Instead of blacklisting you might want to consider to unsquash the extensions, delete whatever is redundant to you, and then squash again.

Alsa's soundcore conflicts with OSS IIRC.

I have OSS, snd and soundcore loaded (thinkpad_acpi depends on snd).
Everything is working...
