When I load battery module with modprobe I get the following message: ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery absent) ACPI-0189: *** Warning: buffer created with zero length in AML -0073: *** Error: Ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes ACPI-0189: *** Warning: buffer created with zero length in AML -0073: *** Error: Ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes ACPI-0189: *** Warning: buffer created with zero length in AML -0073: *** Error: Ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes ACPI-0189: *** Warning: buffer created with zero length in AML -0073: *** Error: Ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present) It happens the same thing when executing acpi: ACPI-0189: *** Warning: buffer created with zero length in AML -0073: *** Error: Ut_allocate: Attempt to allocate zero bytes //(repeated 8 times) Battery 2: unkown, 0% //which isnt true If close the laptop while using the X window system (using nvidia closed drivers), and I open it again I get the same message printed again and again in all consoles (/dev/tty*). Special keys dont work.
