Presario 2701US and Battery info

Presario 2701US and Battery info

[Black, Richard]

No battery info (battery not present) on Presario 2701US

Also getting the repeating message (which fills dmesg):

VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,1)

Details:

dmesg and dsdt.asl posted here
http://www.cpqlinux.com/dmesg.txt
http://www.cpqlinux.com/dsdt_asl.txt
and compressed here

Presario 2701US 
Red Hat 7.2
Fresh 2.4.18 + acpi-20020726-2.4.18.diff
On this I have not modified my DSDT table.

For kernel configuration I did exactly the following:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-acpi
cp ../linux-2.4.7-10/configs/kernel-2.4.7-i686.config arch/i386/defconfig
make mrproper
yes "" | oldconfig
Then in xconfig I did:
1) change to PIII, 
2) turn off Compaq PCI Hotplug driver (doesn't compile), 
3) turn on ACPI support, 
4) make everything in ACPI as "y" not "m" (will do modules 
later once I get this working) - also turned on thermal zone 
and debug statements.

I see battery entries in 
cd /proc/acpi/battery/
find . -type f
./BAT2/alarm
./BAT2/state
./BAT2/info
./BAT1/alarm
./BAT1/state
./BAT1/info

cat BAT1/* BAT2/*
present:		no
present:		no
present:		no
present:		no
present:		no
present:		no

What works:
Lid button
fully powers off on shutdown

This is why.  You haven't changed _SB_ to \_SB_ in your DSDT so the
_SB_ stuff is going in the wrong place in the ACPI hierarchy.

Fix your DSDT and it will likely fix this.

You can probably use my DSDT, someone is using it with a 2720US.
