If you mean the difference between the "0 ->" and the "1 ->", that just shows what CPU it is running on. Everything here looks normal. Do you see any behavior difference in the battery monitor? I thought the remaining issue is that you see a difference in behavior when you boot with or without the battery? If yes, what are the behavior differences and can you run the dtrace script for the problems you see? Phi
