Thanks! Since I have the same problem on an X200s I installed
version 0.40.

	# make load HDAPS=1 FORCE_IO=1

worked fine. But after

	# make install HDAPS=1

there were two versions of thinkpad_ec and tp_smapi:

chris@skull-tp:~$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name thinkpad_ec\*
-exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20072 2008-12-16 17:51
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/extra/thinkpad_ec.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19168 2008-11-21 01:03
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/kernel/ubuntu/misc/thinkpad_ec.ko
chris@skull-tp:~$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name tp_smapi\*
-exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39493 2008-12-16 17:51
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/extra/tp_smapi.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39208 2008-11-21 01:03
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/kernel/ubuntu/misc/tp_smapi.ko

The Makefile doesn't search /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/ubuntu to
remove the old modules. So the ones in
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/extra/ are not listed by "modprobe -l":

chris@skull-tp:~$ modprobe -l | grep thinkpad_ec
/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/kernel/ubuntu/misc/thinkpad_ec.ko
chris@skull-tp:~$ modprobe -l | grep
tp_smapi/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-server/kernel/ubuntu/misc/tp_smapi.ko

Maybe you want to add this path to the Makefile?
