That's the reason: Newer kernels now have a battery interface in both
/proc/acpi (obsolete) and in /sysfs and old HAL cannot handle that. This is
not really a kpowersave issue.
At least that's how i understood the problem back when it happened to me. HAL
should be fixed in the mean time, so you could try updating your packages to
the latest versions and complain to your distribution's bugzilla if they still
have that problem.
If i am wrong with my explanation, i'm sure that Danny will correct me ;-)
Have fun,
Stefan
