Hmm. I just tried 2.6.2-rc3 (after having tried 2.6.1 after having tried 2.6.2-rc2-mm1), and I note that ACPI can get my battery status in 2.6.1, but *not* in 2.6.2-rc2-mm1 or in 2.6.2-rc3. It notes that there is a battery in one of the two bays, and that it's on battery or AC power, but nothing more; all status readouts say that the battery's drained. System is a Dell Inspiron 8600. Thanks! -Joseph
