On my Toshiba A30-303 - vanilla kernel 2.4.25 (acpi 20040116) or kernel 2.4.25 + acpi-20040211-2.4.25.diff.bz2 or kernel 2.4.24 + acpi-20040211-2.4.24.diff.bz2 I have problem with battery state monitoring ... aproximately after 15-45 minutes of computer running I don't get right battery state. For monitoring I am using KDE Kapacity program, which check state of battery each 60 s. (errors described below) [root-BuUY8psAA2Y@public.gmane.org /]# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state present: yes ERROR: Unable to read battery status /var/log/messages is full of folowing messages: Feb 29 19:13:22 sys kernel: acpi_battery-0195 [998] acpi_battery_get_statu: Error evaluating _BST Feb 29 19:13:42 sys kernel: dswload-0279: *** Error: Looking up [PBST] in namespace, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS Feb 29 19:13:42 sys kernel: psparse-0588 [1005] ps_parse_loop : During name lookup/catalog, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS I found thread with similar problem (2.6.3 + D600 + battery state + BUG?? [Was] Battery status sometimes missing), but no solution. Any idea what is wrong?
