Ricky, have reset my SMC controller several times recently (related to a Windows VM taking out my video card then rendering my laptop un- bootable...). This is definitely a firmware issue. The problem first appeared, as I said, after installing Hardy last year. Applying this http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/batteryupdate12.html patch fixes it under Leopard until next boot to Ubuntu, when it's broken for both OSes again. I thought the problem might be fixed when I upgraded to Intrepid so I waited it out, but to no avail.
