With both the 3.5 kernels as well as with the 3.6 kernels, there is quite some unhappiness being reported in dmesg about the ACPI tables, esp. surrounding BAT0. But with 3.5 I do get battery status reported, where as with 3.6 I do not. Here is the dmesg output of booting with 3.5.4, resp. 3.6.0-rc7: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/dmesg-3.5 http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/dmesg-3.6 Both boots were done with a standard Fedora kernel build. Please let me know what else I can do to help. I'm a kernel developer myself, so you can just throw a patch in my direction and I can build a test kernels without needing any hand-holding, etc. Regards, Hans
