ACPI Errors, battery info is lost.

Hi,

I have an IBM T42 Debian Sid, with latest BIOS and correct options
(had old BIOS before and still same problem) Sometimes, when I'm running on Battery power, I get this problem, it might also occur when charging the battery.

I had opened a bug about it in bugzilla, but I never got an answer. I provided the acpidump and so on.

This so far with 2.6.13 and 2.6.14 dunno if also with older kernels.

Hello!

I've a T42p, Debian sid upgraded every morning, probably the latest BIOS (I mean, it was about a month since my last check) and I've never experienced your problem (I'm quite a lot on battery).

Thx, bye,
