I've already tried taking out the battery and replacing it, it didn't
reset. Perhaps I've already configured tp_smapi to enforce my values on
reboot. However since tp_smapi isn't working it shouldn't be doing this
correct?

As for recompiling for my kernel I have to say I've never done this in
my life. I've been using an akmod for Fedora 11 located here
(http://izhar.fedorapeople.org/tp_smapi-kmod/) and I'm really trying to
figure out why the akmod went wrong in this particular kernel version. I
don't want to have to keep recompiling it every time I upgrade my
kernel, especially if there is another solution (the akmod).

So really this question is about finding out why the akmod went wrong
and how to resolve it, given the error output.

Thanks for all the help so far.
