Sorry about that. lkml has rather big traffic.

There may be better HOWTOs around.

Lets assume 40Wh battery... 0.5% per hour... that means 200 hours to
empty. 0.5% per hour is 40 * 0.005 Wh/h = 0.2 W AFAICT... hmm, that's
quite low. Debugging this will not be easy :-(.

Seriously, this may be the fastest way to find out where the problem is.

It follows from your reports that the problem is present in 2.6.22, although
it wasn't present in 2.6.21.  If that's correct, you can do the following:
1) Clone the Linus' -git repository (if you have a copy already, you can use it)
2) Go to the directory containing your copy of the Linus' repo and do
	# git bisect start
	# git bisect good v2.6.21
	# git bisect bad v2.6.22
3) Wait for git to select a commit to test, build the kernel and test it.
   If it works correctly, do
	# git bisect good
   Otherwise, do
	# git bisect bad
4) Repeat 3) until you end up with single commit.

[Unfortunately this procedure may not converge for you (eg. you may encounter
a kernel version that won't compile etc.), but hopefully it will.  Then, you
will know which particular commit caused the problem to appear.]

5) When you're done, do
	# git bisect reset

Thanks,
Rafael

Could be, can't remember what happened that day
(maybe too much beer), anyways I have noticed
battery power being lost after power off, but not yet for
2.6.28, I think around 2.6.25-or-26, but when it happened
it was seldom, or in any case once or twice, not enough times
for me to say anything, just figured it was leaving the system
unplugged while in suspend.

No, you'll need to compile it approximately log_2(3554) times which is not
that bad. :-)

[Bug 10797] Battery is drained after poweroff

[Renato S. Yamane]

Hi,

Can someone help us with this bug?
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10797>

Same problem is reported in Ubuntu:
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/110784>

This is not a hardware problem, because if the same laptop is poweroff
by Windows, battery charge don't change.

And, if I suspend to ram/disk BEFORE poweroff, battery charge don't
change (suspend to ram/disk --> WakeUp --> Poweroff).

Best regards,
Renato

Which machine is that? Can you find out which device eats power? (It
should be warm).

Yes, this is a Linux problem (at least in release >= 2.6.22)
This happening *only* in Linux (Kernel >=2.6.22).

This problem is happening in Toshiba Satellite M45-S355, Toshiba Equium
A100-306, HP DV8000, HP DV9500, Dell Latitude D630, Toshiba M110, Sony
Vaio VGN-S2XP, Toshiba Satellite A105-S4384, Toshiba Satellite M55-S3314
and Toshiba Satellite A105-S2201 as you can see in bug report listed above.

And is impossible find wich device eats power (eaten current is too low,
and is not enought to make hot).

Best regards,
Renato

Wow, now that's useful info.

I guess you _could_ do git bisect? ;-).

So how fast is it eating power... can you estimate Watts eaten?

Have you tried 2.6.27-rc9?
