I've discovered that the battery for my acer laptop is not working properly: I tried replacing it with another from a diferent laptop, of the same model, and I could get battery monitoring going on. In fact, after some searching on the web, I saw reports on the web that the BIOS upgrade that Acer issued some months ago, fixed the broken DSDT of before, so please disregard that as well. HAL still seems a little screwy, but for now, I'm resending the laptop to get a new battery, then I'll do a fresh intall of etch (by the time I get the laptop back, it should be final), and comment my findings here (if HAL is working ok).
