Basically what I experienced is the following: - 2.6.22 kernels: no battery - 2.6.23 kernels: I see the battery (reported twice sysfs+proc), and the information provided is unreliable (the two reported batteries are out of sync for instance, or one suddenly reports as empty, then full...) - 2.6.24 kernels: no battery again So for now I'm stuck with no battery reported, which is not exactly convenient for a laptop. :-) I hope the acpidump and dmesg will help, actually grepping for acpi and error in the dmesg shows a couple of lines which might useful. -- 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 applied it on a 2.6.22.15 kernel using the build service (Kernel:SL103_BRANCH). I get very similar errors reported in the dmesg. I attached the new dmesg I got. -- 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 know have my battery reported. Thanks a lot, a very good step in the right direction. :-) That said now I'm at the same point than with 2.6.23 or a patched 2.6.24 (taking the patch from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9627). That is the battery is reported, but randomly the information exposed in /proc are wrong. When everything is fine for a fully loaded system I get: --------------------------------------- $ cat state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 2224 mAh present voltage: 16761 mV $ cat info present: yes design capacity: 2400 mAh last full capacity: 2224 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 14400 mV design capacity warning: 0 mAh design capacity low: 0 mAh capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: MS-1221 serial number: battery type: LION OEM info: MSI Corp. --------------------------------------- But from time to time the values jump to something like: --------------------------------------- $ cat state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charging present rate: 2304 mA remaining capacity: 8 mAh present voltage: 45121 mV $ cat info present: yes design capacity: 29449 mAh last full capacity: 24584 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 45112 mV design capacity warning: 0 mAh design capacity low: 0 mAh capacity granularity 1: 1 mAh capacity granularity 2: 1 mAh model number: MS-1221 serial number: battery type: LION OEM info: MSI Corp. --------------------------------------- While in both cases the system was fully loaded and plugged. If you want me to test another patch I'm around. ;-) -- 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.

The battery and the ac adapter are often reported as unplugged in /proc. But when they're reported correctly all the data about the battery seems right. I also tried to comment out acpi_ec_burst_disable() as advised on the kernel bugzilla. Note that I tried this patch against the 2.6.24-rc8 shipped in Kernel:HEAD. -- 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.
