I have the same problem with Hardy Heron Alpha 2 and MSI GX700. The good thing is that the following bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.22/+bug/147560 appears to be fixed in alpha 2 (I haven't been able to reproduce it). The bad thing is the battery isn't detected properly.
I have attached a dmesg.txt - it contains these suspicious lines: [ 24.168076] ACPI Error (evregion-0316): No handler for Region [EC__] (ffff81007dc1ddc0) [EmbeddedControl] [20070126] [ 24.168080] ACPI Error (exfldio-0289): Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no handler [20070126] [ 24.168084] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.EC__.BAT1._STA] (Node ffff81007bc33b00), AE_NOT_EXIST /proc/acpi/battery/ doesn't contain neither BAT0 nor BAT1 ** Attachment added: "dmesg.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11075274/dmesg.txt -- No battery detected in Alpha2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
