--- Comment #4 from Brian Hutsell <[email protected]> 2010-05-22 05:11:29 --- Thanks. There is a new BIOS for my machine....but before I install it, we should probably finish addressing this problem more generally. Once I install the new BIOS, my problem might be gone, but other people's issues will remain. One bug per person affected isn't very efficient. Under Windows, my battery appears to be detected just fine. Under Linux, it isn't. Both Windows and Linux are booting on the same BIOS. I have a hack ("cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/state >& /dev/null") which works for discovering my battery properly after boot. Could a similar sort of fallback-mechanism be put into the boot sequence to mitigate the undesirable behavior in the event that the BIOS has this bug? Here is some evidence that this issue is broader than my case: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617529 http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg187316.html And potentially: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg339104.html https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585890 http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/SuSE/2010-02/msg01472.html Opinions? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
