I got a new Omnibook XE3/1066, and wanted to install Linux. Problems are growing big :) All information regards to kernel 2.5.0. One of my Problems is: I cannot read battery-level trough either acpi nor apm. On acpi kernel tells me on cat /proc/acpi/battery/1/info: Present: yes Design Capacity: 5400 mAh Last Full Capacity: 5400 mAh ... Model Number: LIP9071 ... Battery Type: LiON OEM Info: HP so far so good. cat /proc/acpi/battery/1/status: Present: yes Error reading battery status (_BST) ouch. best thing - next cat /proc/acpi/battery/1/info: Present: yes Error reading battery information (_BIF) double ouch. Using APM results are more or less the same. any hints? thanks Lars Duesing -- ====================================================================== This mail may contain private and/or confidential information.
