/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state present rate bug with patch

Hi,

i don't know if it's a real bug, but i had some trouble with /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. present rate was sometimes ok and sometimes it had the value "unknown".

i figured out that the patch from acpi.sf.net is the problem: if i build the kernel without this patch installed, everything is okay. but if i patch my kernel (and with the same config-file), present rate is "unknown" after a reboot.

tested on gentoo with development-sources 2.6.9-rc1 (with "latest" patch) and gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8-r4.

perhaps someone else can reproduce it - or is it just my fault?

HTH
