Yep, that's right, I'm responsible. LKML is indeed right thing to Cc:.

Yes, that's a (mis-feature).

And that's a bug. I know what causes it, but i don't have right fix
yet.

If you are interested, take latest -mm (mmotm from userweb) and apply
this manually:

Hello :)

Sorry it took me so long to reply - I built a kernel based on
vanilla-2.6.28 and applied patches with quilt to .DATE=2009-01-05-12-50.
That worked well, except that when booted, the xfs driver corrupts each
time my MUAs (evolution) configuration :(

But not your problem... the LED-scheduling-problem went away (no more
blinking, on more kernel-BUG and I get:

[ 31.822317] lis3lv02d: laptop model unknown, using default axes
configuration
[ 31.822367] Registered led device: hp:red:hddprotect
[ 32.059496] input: ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer
as /devices/platform/lis3lv02d/input/input8
[ 32.081954] lis3lv02d driver loaded.

$ lsmod | egrep 'lis3lv02d|hp_accel'
hp_accel 6656 0
led_class 3908 2 iwl3945,hp_accel
lis3lv02d 5956 1 hp_accel

/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d
/sys/bus/platform/devices/lis3lv02d
/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/lis3lv02d
/sys/module/lis3lv02d
/sys/module/hp_accel

I was shortly confused, because CONFIG_LEDS_HP_DISK went away and got
integrated into CONFIG_SENSORS_LIS3LV02D with
lis3lv02d-merge-with-leds-hp-disk.patch :)

Bye,
Daniel

What did does it flash, btw? It is red on hp2133 (while disk light is
normally white).

It flashes orange, while normal HDD-activity-color is green.

(BTW: Problem persists in 2.6.28.1.)

Thanks.

Should be fixed in 2.6.29-rc2.
