2.4.20-2.2

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

2.see dmesg output
    
Actual results:

ACPI: Battery socket found, battery absent
ACPI: Battery socket found, battery absent
ACPI: Battery socket found, battery absent

Expected results:

One battery is installed and it must be detected

Comment 1 Gerald Teschl 2003-01-03 20:48:28 UTC
Similar problems on my sony vaio:

ACPI: Battery socket found, battery present
ACPI: Battery socket found, battery present

However, only the first battery is present and the second absent.
Moreover, the values reported by /proc/acpi/battery/{1,2} are bogous.

Using a stock 2.4.20 + latest acpi patch works just fine (with both
one and two batteries present).


Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2003-01-06 02:09:43 UTC
When I try doing "modprobe ospm_battery" on my Dell Lattitude C640, I get a
kernel Oops (bug 81124) and an empty /proc/acpi/battery/

Comment 3 Aleksey Nogin 2003-01-06 02:17:36 UTC
Oh, and another thing - Fn-F3 that normally shows the battery status (under grub
and APM kernel) stops working (just does not do anything) as soon as the ACPI
kernel is loaded...
