Namely, the battery monitor that I use (the kpowersave applet from SUSE 9.2) is no longer able to report the battery status (ie how much % it is loaded). It can only check if the AC power is connected (if it is connected, kpowersave behaves as though there was no battery in the box, and if it is not connected, kpowersave always shows that the battery is 1% loaded). Also, there are big latencies on loading and accessing the battery module, but the module loads successfully and there's nothing suspicious in dmesg. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
