I'm using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r4 app-laptop/hdapsd-20060409 app-laptop/khdapsmonitor-0.1 I applied the patch using emerge --config hdapsd and recompiled kernel. It works fine then a harddisk is not busy. Khdapsmonitor displays pause mode icon it really blocks a hdd. However, it totally hang a box if I shake it then hdd is active. I'm using sata driver for cdrom as well and it might be an issue. 13:35:32 pentest queue # emerge --info Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r4, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.15 app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.averse.net/pub/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en ru" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X acpi alsa apache2 arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cli crypt cups curl dlloader dri eds emboss encode esd expat ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gmp gpm gtk2 hal idn imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg kde ldap libg++ libwww logitech-mouse mad mikmod mmx mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl ogg opengl pam pcmcia pcre pdflib perl pmount png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba sdl session snmp speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl tcltk tcpd threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb vorbis wifi xine xml xml2 xorg xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux linguas_en linguas_ru userland_GNU video_cards_i915 video_cards_vesa video_cards_i810" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

Can't say that I'm seeing this myself :/ Can you try build tp_smapi with the hdaps USE flag?
It's there already: [ebuild R ] app-laptop/tp_smapi-0.21 USE="hdaps" 0 kB here is /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: tp_smapi hdaps ibm_acpi experimental=1 hotkey=enable,0xffff I found that I'm not alone with it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/711
let me know if you need an additional info.
-r1 should fix this if you have a 2.6.18 or 2.6.19 kernel.
