           Summary: No more battery info with 2.6.23 kernels
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.23-rc3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Power-Battery
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.22.x
Distribution: Slackware 12
Hardware Environment: Athlon64 3000 + nForce3 150 on Aspire 1511 LMi Software Environment: none
Problem Description:
With recent kernels (2.6.23-rc3, maybe 2.6.23-rc2 but I'm not sure), the battery information is not available anymore on some laptops. Dmesg info for different kernel versions appended.

Quoted 5 lines

Steps to reproduce:
Maybe specific to my hardware. It used to have a DSDT replacement for old kernels (2.6.16 for instance), but since 2.6.19 up to 2.6.22 it was not necessary. Now, it does work with neither original nor fixed DSDT.

Michal, please track this as a post-2.6.22 regression, thanks.
