I am having the same problems as this fellow: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/14110 Basically, after my laptop (ThinkPad R51, Intel graphics and chipset) has been up for some time messages like these begin to flood the kernel logs: ACPI-0105: *** Error: Could not allocate new owner_id (32 max), AE_OWNER_ID_ LIMIT=20 ACPI-0509: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT0._BI F] (Node cf44b820), AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT This is certainly a new problem--this never happened before kernel 2.6.12= , although it was a problem before ACPI 20050729. And as a result programs can no longer query battery status, the GNOME battery panel applet turns to an exclaimation point and (particularly annoying) the sleepd[1] daemon attempts to put the laptop to sleep, even though the battery is not low. The kernel is 2.6.12.3 with latest ACPI patch (20050729) and suspend2 2.1.9.9. This happens after a session has been active for some time--either if the computer has been on for some time or a while after I've resumed from suspend-to-disk or suspend-to-RAM. Any help with this problem would be appreciated. -- Andrew Barr andrew.james.barr-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org [1] sleepd puts a laptop to sleep after a certain amount of idle time (measured by keyboard & mouse interrupts) or if the battery falls below a certain threshold. It supports APM *and* ACPI.
