Since my last email, my machine froze, which hadn't happened for a very
long time.  I rebooted it, recompiled my kernel with your config file
(slightly modified because apparently my network card is not the same as
yours and because I need devfs (for gentoo).  I had to manually insert the
acpi modules (I have them in the kernel).  I unplugged the laptop from the
mains and about 2 minutes after, it froze...

Rebooted and redid the experiment: booting while plugged in, then unplug
from the mains.  After a few minutes, both temperatures show 46 and ... THE
BATTERY SHOWS 46% CHARGED...

/sbin/halt displays "Power down" but doesn't power down...

That's with the same config as yours (Hartwig) apart from devfs on,
/dev/pts off and 8139too as a module (network card).

Does that help?
