Package: laptop-mode-tools Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
New kernels (2.6.24+) have deprecated /proc/acpi/battery. When this is not present, and auto-hibernate on low battery is on, the following happens on boot: 1. the laptop-mode init script runs 2. it tries to cat /proc/acpi/battery/*/info 3. such files do not exist 4. laptop-mode decides this means it's time to hibernate Currently my hibernate doesn't work for other reasons, which means this results in a totally unbootable system. I booted into another kernel and turned off auto-hibernate, and the problem was fixed. I guess there is two things to change about the hibernate checking do to fix this: 1. Look for the new files in /sys first 2. If they're not there, look in /proc, and if they're not there, do nothing I can probably work up a patch for this in the next day or so. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.4-vs2.2.0.5.0.7.080408 Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
