Ok, thanks for the partition table: in order to use tpctl, you need a char
device, /dev/thinkpad, major 10 minor 170, and you must put a
'path[thinkpad]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/thinkpad' entry in modules.conf
[debian uses a directory with several files in it, which are
post-processed by update-modules to make /etc/modules.conf, so individual
packages can add their own module aliases/config entries. I do not know if
the setup in RH is similar or not] but in any case, you'll need entries
like this in /etc/modules.conf:

path[thinkpad]=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/thinkpad
options thinkpad enable_smapi=1 enable_superio=1 enable_rtcmosram=1
alias char-major-10-170 thinkpad
