HDAPS disc protect interface has changed in kernels >= 2.6.27, which requires a patched version of hdapsd. See http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/HDAPS#Kernel_patch for more information. The patch is found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/1372 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to use current kernels >= 2.6.27 with disc protect patch in combination with hdapsd found in portage tree.
Created attachment 170404 [details] hdapsd-2008-10-05 ebuild this is an ebuild + files for the latest hdapsd. got it working with gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r1
Please attach patch files individually as plaintext to let people review them. I haven't reviewed this patch but I'm dropping the 2.6.27 block as hdapsd is not in the stable tree.
please mark it as a dup wrt to bug #166166 fyi: quite few (if not all) bugs fixed in sectools overlay: http://gentoo.o0o.nu/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd/
