[Bug 334806] New: Asus M6N: no battery information
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334806 Summary: Asus M6N: no battery information Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: munix9@googlemail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=179209) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=179209) patch vs linux-2.6.22.9-0.4 Main battery status/information is not reported: in openSUSE 10.2 there were two directories in /proc/acpi/battery: BAT0 and BAT1, in openSUSE 10.3 there is only BAT1. kernel-default-2.6.22.9-0.4 on Asus M6N notebook (BIOS 214a). According to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8598 I've ported a part of the patch for 2.6.23-rc1-git back to 2.6.22.9-0.4 - this solved the problem. Is it possible to include the patch in the future releases of openSUSE 10.3 kernel packages? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Solved the problems here, too. I'm using Bios 0211A (I've problems with fan regulation in 0214A, from time to time, it's doesn't stop rotating full speed, even if the CPU is idle for ages) on a M6842NW (also M6N series) and battery state is displayed correctly now, without patching dsdt. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Problem is, it creates "chain reaction" of 8709 and 8909 bugs. (you can check on http://bugzilla.kernel.org)
The patches to fix this up are rather big... Alexey, do you have an idea for a litte, safe workaround/fix :) Maybe we could blacklist those machines for 10.3 only and fallback to: status = acpi_get_devices(ec_device_ids[0].id, ec_parse_device, boot_ec, NULL); only for reported machines... If we want to go the blacklist for 10.3 approach, could pls all affect people attach dmidecode output... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I also took this check: if (ACPI_FAILURE(status) || !boot_ec->handle) which did not exist in Paolo's patch or in our 2.6.22 kernel... I also can provide another test kernel...
