[ltp] TCPA+t40p+suse linux 8.2

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

Hello,

I'm trying to get TCPA working (http://www.research.ibm.com/gsal/tcpa/),
and it's not.  I can build everything fine, and load the module, but none=

of the examples are working. 

1) For starters, I can't clear the tcpa chip in the bios - there's no men=
u
item to clear the chip in the bios
2) As described, I need to create a device using "mknod".  Fine.  But the=

device is gone after reboot.  How do I get it to stay (aside from init.d
script?)

TIA,

Vijay Garla
