dmesg output
Also tested with plain kernel 2.6.34 and 2.6.35-rc3 with same results. The temperature reading also does not work on this model. Created attachment 26878 [details]
dsdt.dsl
Created attachment 26879 [details]
ssdt2.dsl
I also get compile errors for the ssdt2.dsl file and it also mentions BAT1
Here is my log: http://pastebin.com/qV5bZ1n8 Created attachment 26968 [details]
custom _BST method
Please
1. build a kernel, later than 2.6.34, set CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.
2. reboot with acpi.debug_layer=0x80, acpi.debug_level=0x06.
3. mount debugfs to /sys/kernel/debug
4. download this _BST.aml file
5. apply this custom _BST control method by running "cat _BST.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
6. run "grep . /proc/acpi/battery/*/*"
7. attach the dmesg output after this test.

Complete Log with latest git kernel.
Sorry, you should ungzip it first. please run 1. "echo 0x02 > /sys/modules/acpi/parameters/debug_level" 2. dmesg -c 3. "grep . /proc/acpi/battery/*/*" 4. attach the dmesg output after this test. Created attachment 26979 [details]

acpidump
I also noticed that my acpidump is a little (a couple of lines in diff) different from acpidump posted here.
please run 1. "echo 0x02 > /sys/modules/acpi/parameters/debug_level" 2. "echo 0x88 > /sys/modules/acpi/parameters/debug_layer" 2. dmesg -c 3. "grep . /proc/acpi/battery/*/*" 4. attach the dmesg output after this test. this time. dmesg was empty. If it can be useful, when i attached battery a message appeared PM: Adding info for No Bus:BAT1 No EC address space, results in ECON cleared. I have Acer Aspire 5745G and i have the same problem.
