[ltp] Re: thinkpadpm removed

[Marc P.]

just more info,

i am experiencing the exact same problem. I suspect it's a debian kernel
headers package problem..

In module-assistant [where i compile thinkpad-source into proper
kernel-specific debs], i notice the build process believes that the
files in the linux-headers-2.6.16-1 package are configured, but not
compiled [against the running kernel]??? which is the whole point of
that package.

clarification: linux-headers-2.6.16-1, not linux-headers-2.6.16-1-686

there are other compilation errors.

incidentally, madwifi-source compiles and insmod fine..

thinkpad-source appears to compile fine, but will not insmod [with the
errors below], nor will smapi or others.

not having sufficient Kung-Fu, i'm running on 2.6.15 til someone fixes
it.. ^_^
