Hi Holger,<br>
<br>
Yes, I do have the latest the BIOS.<br>
No, reloading the battery module does not restore the
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/files <br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
I have the following:
HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with an Intel Core2 Duo T9400 and 4 GB of RAM
Fedora 10 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.x86_64
pm-utils-1.2.2.1-2.fc10
hal-0.5.12-14.20081027git.fc10
Everything runs great including suspending, hibernating and resuming except that when the laptop resumes from a suspend or hibernation there is no battery info:
{0}duder:/home/don > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/alarm
present: no
{0}duder:/home/don > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
present: no
{0}duder:/home/don > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present: no
Before a suspend or hibernation and resume the battery info is as expected:
{0}duder:/home/don/bin > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info
present: yes
design capacity: 5100 mAh
last full capacity: 4800 mAh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 14400 mV
design capacity warning: 240 mAh
design capacity low: 144 mAh
capacity granularity 1: 264 mAh
capacity granularity 2: 3780 mAh
model number: Primary
serial number:
battery type: Lion
OEM info: Hewlett-Packard
It does not matter if the laptop is running on AC power or the battery
Booting with every combination of turning acpid on or off and turning the pci=noapci kernel flag on or off has no effect.
I spent a good deal of time Googling and searching the pm-utils archives but found no solution.
I've also tried the suggestions on the HAL Quirk site, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/index.html">http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/index.html</a> but still no joy.
Any ideas to get my battery info after a resume?

Does unloading->loading the battery module after suspend cure the
problem? Do you have the latest BIOS for your machine installed?
