Hi. This looks like an ACPI issue. I'm no expert in ACPI and the Linux kernel, but have you tried updating the machine's BIOS to the latest version? Also, may I suggest reporting the result of running the command "udevadm monitor --property" for several minutes after you unplug the power adapter? Does it contain "change" events like the following? KERNEL[88992.976211] change /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 (power_supply) ACTION=change DEVPATH=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=881000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=4400000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=852000 [...] UDEV [88992.982757] change /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 (power_supply) ACTION=change DEVPATH=/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=881000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=4400000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=852000 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 The result of the command "acpitool --battery" would also be useful as well. You may also try posting your problem on the linux-pm mailinglist [1], where the linux power management developers hang out.
