Hi, I've borrowed this laptop for a few days. Linux works pretty well, but I found a problem on newer kernels. After suspend it claims the battery has been removed. E.g. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state claims the battery is not present (but it is). I've attached acpidump and dmidecode output at <http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13745>. I still have access to the laptop for further tests, but only until Friday. I bisected it to the commit below. Manually reverting the patch fixes the problem (in both 2.6.30 and 2.6.31-rc2). commit d0c71fe7ebc180f1b7bc7da1d39a07fc19eec768 Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat Oct 4 00:05:05 2008 +0200 ACPI Suspend: Enable ACPI during resume if SCI_EN is not set On some machines, like for example MSI Wind U100, the BIOS doesn't enable ACPI before returning control to the OS, which sometimes causes resume to fail. This is against the ACPI specification, which clearly states that "When the platform is waking from an S1, S2 or S3 state, OSPM assumes the hardware is already in the ACPI mode and will not issue an ACPI_ENABLE", but it won't hurt to check the SCI_EN bit and enable ACPI during resume from S3 if this bit is not set. Fortunately, we already have acpi_enable() for that, so use it in the resume code path, before executing _BFS, in analogy with the resume-from-hibernation code path. NOTE: We aren't supposed to set SCI_EN directly, because it's owned by the hardware. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
