did you have a battery online? Thanks
Comment 3 Bill Chmura 2003-12-29 19:55:51 UTC
Yep, I had a battery in the system, not sure what you mean about mounted.  But
that prompted me to do some more poking.  Pretty much I get that error on every
cold boot no matter if I have just the main notebook battery or also the extra
battery installed.  HOWEVER, I found out that on cold boots when I am under
battery power I do NOT have those problems.  So basically the problem only exists:

* Cold booting the notebook under A/C Power

It works fine when:

* Cold boot under battery power
* Warm boot under A/C power

I did go into /proc/acpi and verify that when I do get those errors there is
both no battery info or thermal info available.

Again, anything I can do to help - let me know!

Strike the comment I made about mounting... I was thinking online...

does below info exist even when you cold boot with battery online?
>ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)
>ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT2] (battery absent)
when you warm boot, can battery info be reported correctly?
can you verify if battery info is correct under WinXP?
