ACPI on hp nx6125 doesn't update battery state

ACPI on hp nx6125 doesn't update battery state

[Carsten Tschense]

Hi,
I bought a HP Compaq nx6125 2 days ago...
After booting the information in /proc/acpi/battery/C175/state update
regulary, but after a while they don't. I don't see any errors in
dmesg, /var/log/messages or /var/log/acpid.
Well, now the strange solution:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ1/temperature
That's the thermal zone of the cpu. After doing this, the fan starts
blowing for a while, the cpu usage increases to 100% for about 2 seconds
(may vary), the systems repeats very slow.
Now the battery state updates, the system runs as normal. If you do a
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ1/temperature now, nothing happens, after
circa 5 minutes the same happens again.
The temperature looks correct all the time. viewing the temperature of
another thermal zone doesn't help...

That's a bit strange, isn't it? ;)
I hope you can help me... :) should I provide some debugging
information?

I'm running a 2.6.14 with gentoos patchset r2.

Bye,
Carsten

RE: ACPI on hp nx6125 doesn't update battery state

[Carsten Tschense]

Hi,
thanks for your help! :)
I booted with that this morning and let the notebook running for about 5
hours without looking after it. ... It seems to be a bit dangerous as
the notebook was damn hot, the fan wasn't running. A "cat temperature"
helped again. It said 58° for 2 minutes, that was defenatly wrong...

Ah, something to add: while writing this mail the fan was still running
at full speed (but it felt pretty cool), a "cat temperture" stopped
it ;) (is anything of that really usefull?)


Bye,
Carsten

Have you tried using the ec_burst=1 kernel option? I have a few HP 
Omnibook 5x0/6x00 series laptops that require it to work correctly.
Without ec_burst=1 battery, thermal, brightness keys etc. are all 
broken.

PS.
Big thanks to the ACPI people. The early ec_burst patches didn't work 
correctly with these laptops but now I'm running 2.6.14-mm1 and 
everything appears to work perfectly.

ACPI on hp nx6125 doesn't update battery state

[Carsten Tschense]

Hi,
I now discovered that the battery state doesn't update after the
temperature reaches the first trip point. I'm not totaly sure, but I
think it's right...

Hope you can help me,
Carsten

Do you open bug on bugzilla.
Please attach acpidump output there.
I need to understand what's going on when you do "cat temperature".

Thanks,

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534
All nx6125 have this problem, I think the battery and the thermal
problem have the same reason...

Bye,
Carsten
