Hi all.
After a a long time I tried ACPI again with -CURRENT as of yesterday. On
my HP Omnibook 500 I still have problems using ACPI. The machine works
fine, but I have the annoying problem, that I cannot see the battery
level (well, mostly).I think this is mainly a problem with the DSDT,it's
borken as so often. I have no real clue about ASL and so I was able to
change my DSDT in the way that a) I could compile it using iasl and b) I
can see the battery level at least when switching from acline to battery
or vice versa - but I'm not really able to fix it in terms of "I
understand what I'm doing here".
Sorry for the mail being very long, but I try to provide as much
information as possible here. I'd even be willing to give people
interested in debugging this an account on the machine and then have a
phone session (to plug/unplug power and change DSDTs or whatever is
needed).
You'll find the asl files here:
original: http://the.addict.de/~ob/hp500.asl
changed:http://the.addict.de/~ob/hp500-ob.asl
The dmesg output for booting both cases can be found here:
original: http://the.addict.de/~ob/dmesg-orig.out
changed DSDT: http://the.addict.de/~ob/dmesg-ob.out
I have hw.acpi.verbose=1
The details in the behaviour of the machine when booting with the
original DSDT:
The machine says to have acline, although it's running on battery. I
have one battery. The battery is charged somewhat about 50% (I can see
this when booting with APM). The battery display gives no values.
sysctl hw.acpi says the folloing:

After 5 Minutes of uptime I see no change. I have the following ACPI
errors in the console:

When plugging power in the following error messages appear:

nothing changes in sysctl hw.acpi
when unplugging power again, there are notable changes:
acpi_ec0: EcCommand: no response to 0x80
ACPI-0438: *** Error: Handler for [EmbeddedControl] returned
AE_NO_HARDWARE_RESPONSE
acpi_ec0: EcCommand: no response to 0x80
