In 2.6.26 the battery status information was updated with a lag, but it was correct, given enough time. In 2.6.30 the battery information on my laptop MSI PR200 was properly updated, read and I had no problems. Now, in 2.6.32-rc3 the battery information is so broken that, even when the battery is full and laptop is on AC, ACPI claims that the battery is empty and needs more time to recharge. For instance, now the battery is full and the laptop is on AC, but this is what happens: 0 eddy@heidi ~ $ acpi Battery 0: Charging, 0%, 02:10:12 until charged, design capacity 5200 mAh 0 eddy@heidi ~ $ uname -a Linux heidi 2.6.32-rc3-heidi #1 SMP Mon Oct 12 01:53:56 EEST 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux This is even worse since because of this misreading of information, when on battery there is no way to surely know when the battery rans out and the laptop simply is abruptly turned off, just as it would happen if the battery was simply removed (no warning to applications such as gnome-power-manager). Please tell me what other information I can provide to help fixing this regression.
You might want to look into the history of bug #12011 for more information on the history of the problems with ACPI on other MSI laptops.
Eddy, Could you please attach dmesg? what happens if you do cat of /proc/acpi/battery/*/*?
(In reply to comment #2) > Eddy, > Could you please attach dmesg? There is already a dmesg from this kernel at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=23466 this was obtained in a boot-hibernate-resume sequence.

Created attachment 23481 [details] debug patch Please apply this patch and send a dmesg with the boot sequence in it... M/b you will need to get it from /var/log/messages or something.
Created attachment 23485 [details] syslog of 2.6.32-rc3 with debug patch I haven't found the 'Detected MSI hardware, enabling workarounds.' message in the syslog, but I see lots of 'ACPI EC' messages, so I assume the hardware isn't properly detected. Please tell me if I have to do anything else.
Do you have dmidecode output handy? Please attach it here.
Just as a helper note, I installed the 2.6.31 kernel prepared by Debian for experimental and I am not experiencing these issues: 0 eddy@heidi ~ $ acpi Battery 0: Full, 100%, design capacity 5200 mAh 0 eddy@heidi ~ $ uname -r 2.6.31-trunk-amd64 OTOH, I am unsure what patches are applied, but the policy of the kernel team is to not diverge too much from the upstream and only to accept patches which are/were/will be accepted upstream. If this proves useful I could try to build my own kernel from upstream sources.
Created attachment 23492 [details] dmidecode output I got this while running the 2.6.31-trunk-amd64 kernel mentioned before, but judging from dmidecode's man page this should be irrelevant.

Eddy, I think you may safely limit bisect to drivers/acpi/ec.c ... Detection of MSI notebooks have changed, and I still don't see it working even with second patch. Could it be that your syslog does not have debug statements enabled?

Alexey, is there a patch proposed for upstream here?
Lastest 2.6.32.1 ships without patch...After patching battery status works great.
Len, patch in comment #20 should go up.
patch in comment #20 applied to acpi tree I've marked it with cc: stable@kernel.org, so it should go to 2.6.32.stable too onces it is upstream.
shipped in linux-2.6.33-rc2 and sent to .32.stable closed.

Please reopen this bug to complete the collection of MSI Detected Hardware (this ec_dmi_table). I just tested this patch for my notebook, which failed due to another variant of writing the manufacturer's name. :-/ Complete list as far as I know: - Micro-Star - MICRO-Star - MICRO-STAR Concluding ... I added the entry in this table (see patch) for MICRO-STAR and it worked for me.
oh i hate the DMI maintenance game. Tom, did you put MICRO-STAR as DMI_BIOS_VENDOR, or as DMI_SYS_VENDOR?
Tom, probably best to just attach the output from dmidecode
Instead of attaching the dmidecode I just print the relevant section. (Other "Manufacturer:" keys are followed by "Notebook" or "Manufacturer<i>" where <i> is an integer) Handle 0x0003, DMI type 3, 21 bytes Chassis Information Manufacturer: MICRO-STAR INT'L CO.,LTD. Type: Notebook Lock: Not Present Version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. [...] Thus I added the following ec_dmi_table entry: { ec_flag_msi, "MSI hardware", { DMI_MATCH(DMI_CHASSIS_VENDOR, "MICRO-STAR")}, NULL}, Finally I added it neither as DMI_BIOS_VENDOR nor DMI_SYS_VENDOR, but DMI_CHASSIS_VENDOR.

Parsing syslog I has noticed that quantity of calls "hw_read/evgpe-0445/evevent-0249" at the moment of failure and after it was suspiciously small. Maybe for any reasons EC ceases to produce the complete report of the battery status and it needs to be initialized anew?

does the problem still exist in the latest upstream kernel? say 2.6.35 or 2.6.36-rc?
I'm not the original reporter, but I own a PR200 and used to have this problem, and now everything seems to be OK (after Bug 14740 was resolved).
(In reply to comment #49) > I'm not the original reporter, but I own a PR200 and used to have this > problem, > and now everything seems to be OK (after Bug 14740 was resolved). Sorry, the bug number is wrong, but nevertheless, it works now.
(In reply to comment #48) > does the problem still exist in the latest upstream kernel? say 2.6.35 or > 2.6.36-rc? I stopped having the issue a while back, and right at comment #31 I said I got the expected result. Now I am running a 2.6.32 debian kernel which does not have this issue, but if you think there are reasons it should be present in 2.6.35 or later, ples let me know and I'll test. OTOH, I still have #12878 on this machine.
Close this bug as it seems to be fixed in the upstream kernel. please feel free to re-open it at any time if the problem can be reproduced in the latest mainline kernel.

Please reopen the bug.
Mihail, can you please verify if the problem you met is a duplicate of bug #14461?
oh.sorry, I just saw your post.
Mihail Please test 2.6.37 and attach the complete dmesg. Also please attach the complete output from dmidecode for your MSI S271.

Hi, I have discovered this problem as well on my Macbook Pro running Debian Squeeze -- the battery is new, non-apple, but Mac Os deals with it just fine. Some info: $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT0 POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_TECHNOLOGY=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN=11100000 POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=12498000 POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=0 POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=0 POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN=56000000 POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL=52020000 POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW=52000000 POWER_SUPPLY_MODEL_NAME=ASMB012 POWER_SUPPLY_MANUFACTURER=Sony012 POWER_SUPPLY_SERIAL_NUMBER= $ uname -r 2.6.32-bpo.5-686 (same problem on 2.6.32-5.686, the mainstream Debian squeeze kernel -- probably exactly the same kernel anyways) I have charted the contents of /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/{energy_now,power_now,current_now,voltage_now} over time; energy oscillates between 5200000 and 0, voltage between 12000000 and 0 (surely 3 orders of magnitude wrong?), whereas current and power are steadily registering 0 please let me know if you'd like any log attachments, etc. Would love some help.
could you please verify if the patch at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24002#c12 helps?
sorry, I mean the patch at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24002#c10
ping...
bug closed as there is no response from the bug reporter. please re-open it if the problem still exists in the latest upstream kernel.
Eeep, sorry to drop off the radar. Problem still exists in debian kernel 2.6.38 $uname -rv 2.6.38-2-686 #1 SMP Sun May 8 14:49:45 UTC 2011 --I'm aware that I'm reporting on a Debian kernel in the Ubuntu bugzilla -- do you still want info/patch try-outs?
oops. Too many bugs to report, forgot where I was
