Hi,

I have a new Toshiba Tecra S1 laptop which I cannot get ACPI battery
status from.  I grepped my dmesg output for ACPI and got the following
messages:

The errors with "Method execution failed" seem to be my problem.  Any
ideas what I can try to get the status of the batteries in this laptop?
There are two batteries in this thing.

I have attached the full dmesg output in case it is helpful.  Let me
know what I can do to help solve this problem.

Thanks,
Bernt.
