Description Mikhail Gusarov 2007-06-08 05:05:23 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.6.20
Distribution: Debian
Hardware Environment: Asus M6N notebook
Problem Description:

Main battery status/information is not reported: in 2.6.20 there were two 
directories in /proc/acpi/battery: BAT0 and BAT1 (second properly reported as 
missing, seems to be slot for extension battery), in 2.6.22-rc3 and rc4 there 
is only BAT1.

.configs, dmesgs and acpidump output are attached.

Do early init only for fake _INI being present

Previous patch causes too many problems for other machines. Try limit early inits to only EC with _INI method. Please test that it does not cause regressions for you.
Comment 21 Thomas Schwarzgruber 2007-11-02 12:45:26 UTC
Applied patch to 2.6.24-rc1-g5307cc1a and Battery 0 is not shown again:

bash-3.00$ dmesg | grep ACPI
ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (off-line)
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)
[..]

fixed patch

Sorry, there was typo in previous patch. Could you please test this one?
Comment 23 Thomas Schwarzgruber 2007-11-05 01:38:54 UTC
That one works for me.

commit 5870a8cd23181703cc76f88f630372f8602c7648
Author: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de>
Date:   Thu Nov 15 21:52:47 2007 +0300

    ACPI: EC: Don't init EC early if it has no _INI
    
    Option to init EC early inserted to handle #8598 ASUS problem,
    introduced several others.
    
    EC driver in this particular case has fake _INI method, not present on
    other machines, which don't need or break from this workaround, so lets use
    its presence as a flag for early init.
