Downloaded the DVD image, burt it to DVD, booted the DVD, chose to install, 
then selected "upgrade" when the installer found another version. Is there a 
better/quicker/easieer way?

How?

I tried 

# rem_drv battery

and got a message about it not being present. 

I copied once again# 

# cp 6723556/32/acpi_drv  cp /kernel/drv
AND
# cp 6723556/64/acpi_drv  cp /kernel/drv


see: 

[drkirkby at kingfisher drv]$  ls -l  /kernel/drv/acpi_drv
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys        39128 Aug  1 14:40 /kernel/drv/acpi_drv
[drkirkby at kingfisher drv]$  ls -l  /kernel/drv/amd64/acpi_drv
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys        54544 Aug  1 14:40 /kernel/drv/amd64/acpi_drv

I've tried booting again, reconfigrue boot, using

# add_drv acpi_drv

When I run your evprint, I see events under most circumstances

1) Removing mains gives:
*** event: class 'EC_pwrctl', subclass 'ESC_pwrctl_remove'
pwrctl_dev_hid: string 'ACPI0003'
pwrctl_dev_uid: string ''
pwrctl_dev_index: uint32 0
pwrctl_dev_phys_path: string '/pseudo/acpi_drv at 0'

2) Putting in mians gives:

*** event: class 'EC_pwrctl', subclass 'ESC_pwrctl_add'
pwrctl_dev_hid: string 'ACPI0003'
pwrctl_dev_uid: string ''
pwrctl_dev_index: uint32 0
pwrctl_dev_phys_path: string '/pseudo/acpi_drv at 0'


3) Removing battery does not generate an event. 

4) Putting battery back in, gives
*** event: class 'EC_pwrctl', subclass 'ESC_pwrctl_state_change'
pwrctl_dev_hid: string 'PNP0C0A'
pwrctl_dev_uid: string '1'
pwrctl_dev_index: uint32 0
pwrctl_dev_phys_path: string '/pseudo/acpi_drv at 0'


BUT, the little "battery charge monitor" does not change its indication - its 
showing:

"System is running on AC Power
Battery charged (100%)"

Removing the mains power for a few minutes, which must obviously deplete the 
batteries somewhat, still shows

"System is running on AC Power
Battery charged (100%)"

Clearly now, the battery can't be charged, as its been run for a few minutes on 
batteries. The mains is not running on AC power either. 

Any ideas ??

Hi Phi,
sorry for delay in getting hack. 

I tried
