A30-303 - acpi-20040211-2.4.25 - battery state error

Hello all!!

On my Toshiba A30-303 - vanilla kernel 2.4.25 (acpi 20040116) or
kernel 2.4.25 + acpi-20040211-2.4.25.diff.bz2
or kernel 2.4.24 + acpi-20040211-2.4.24.diff.bz2 I have problem with battery state monitoring ... aproximately after 15-45 minutes of computer running I don't get right battery state. For monitoring I am using KDE Kapacity program, which check state of battery each 60 s. (errors described below)

[[email protected] /]# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
present: yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status

/var/log/messages is full of folowing messages:

Feb 29 19:13:22 sys kernel: acpi_battery-0195 [998] acpi_battery_get_statu: Error evaluating _BST
Feb 29 19:13:42 sys kernel:  dswload-0279: *** Error: Looking up [PBST] in namespace, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
Feb 29 19:13:42 sys kernel:  psparse-0588 [1005] ps_parse_loop         : During name lookup/catalog, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

I found thread with similar problem (2.6.3 + D600 + battery state + BUG?? [Was] Battery status sometimes missing), but no solution.

Any idea what is wrong?

With regard Vladimir Volcko

PS: sorry for my english ;-)
