That you should compile the _latest_ tp_smapi sources with the included
HDAPS driver. Installing will replace the hdaps.ko in your kernel with
the one compiled.

After looking at the source, seems like your model is supported. The
error comes from a failed request_region() call: the buggy BIOS/ACPI
already reserved that range. I suggest you go for the hdaps driver
bundled with tp_smapi, eventually with the force_io=1 option specified.
