Distribution: Open_SuSE_10 Hardware Environment: Laptop Toshiba M45-S355 Problem Description: I compile a new Kernel 2.6.15 with MM2 Patch because module sk98lin include in "original" Kernel 2.6.15 don't work with my ethernet card and the module sky2 available in mm2 patch work very well. The problem is: When KDE start I receive a alert message (battery remaing is -1 minute), but this battery is FULL, and kinternet icon (wireless intel) don't show in tray. Some time (other reboots) my Optical USB Mouse don't work. I attach my dmesg (with USB mouse work), other dmesg (with my USB mouse don't work) and my .config file Regards, Renato BRAZIl

I test with Kernel 2.6.15-git7 and I have the same problem.
Sorry to add yours e-mails, but anyone read this issue :-(
Is there any kernel on which you don't have this problem with battery? Also please send /proc/acpi/battery/*/* files.
I don't have problem in Kernel 2.6.13-15.7 (vendor Kernel: SuSE 10) IF I put this options in menu.lst (grub): irqpoll pci=usepirqmask cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/alarm alarm: unsupported cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info present: yes design capacity: 4300 mAh last full capacity: 3754 mAh battery technology: rechargeable design voltage: 15000 mV design capacity warning: 0 mAh design capacity low: 0 mAh capacity granularity 1: 0 mAh capacity granularity 2: 3754 mAh model number: PA3399U-1BAS/BRS serial number: 0260 battery type: Li-I cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state present: yes capacity state: ok charging state: charged present rate: 0 mA remaining capacity: 3764 mAh present voltage: 15000 mV
Could you please confirm that you do not see problems with battery reading with default SUSE kernel and only with both mentioned optiones supplied? It seems that second option should not work in your case, b/c you are allowing ACPI routing of IRQs.
Oops... sorry. In SuSE Kernel I don't have problem with battery (no need insert options in menu.lst) But without this options (irqpoll pci=usepirqmask) my ethernet (module sk9lin) don't work. In Kernel 2.6.15.1 I have the same problem AND my ethernet also don't work. For my ethernet work I need module sky2 (only available in -mm patch). Regards, Renato
Created attachment 7178 [details] debug msg Please apply this patch, be sure that the alert message (-1 min) is present, and send 'dmesg' output. It will give us more information. Thanks. Vladimir.
Created attachment 7192 [details] dmesg with debug msg Hi Vladimir, in attachment my dmesg with your patch (I try with kernel 2.6.15.2) My battery is FULL, but when I start my laptop appear error message (remaing time is less then 1 minute with battery) and also Kpowersaved error ERROR - KPOWERSAVE ================== Service power manager is not active If you active can get better performance: /usr/sbin/rcpowersaved start ================== But when I try start kpowersaved I receive this message: "daemon already running" Detail: my ethernet card don't run with module sk98lin available in Kernel 2.6.15.2 Is possible run my ethernet with module SKY2, available ONLY in mm patch! Thanks, Renato
It doesn't look like a kernel bug, /proc/acpi files contain correct data. Please try to find similar bugs on other bug sites - bugzilla.novell.com and others. I'll inform you if I find out anything.
