I'll try the latest kernel too then, as the 2.6.1-1.65 can't seem to get
battery info properly :
# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/*
alarm: unsupported
present: yes
design capacity: 0 mWh
last full capacity: 0 mWh
battery technology: non-rechargeable
design voltage: 0 mV
design capacity warning: 0 mWh
design capacity low: 0 mWh
capacity granularity 1: 0 mWh
capacity granularity 2: 0 mWh
model number:
serial number:
battery type:
OEM info:
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: unknown
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 0 mAh
present voltage: 0 mV
(I get the same for the 2nd battery, when inserted)
This is on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with ACPI. When running the gnome battery
applet, it fills my kernel logs with :
-0091: *** Error: ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes
