Description DonK23 2014-02-19 15:00:19 UTC
Description of problem:
After latest kernel update (3.12.10-300 to 3.13.3-201) fedora coudln´t find the battery on my ASUS N550JV. After a reboot, the fans went to full speed and didn´t stop until another reboot. Also an orange blinking misbehavior of the battery led started as well, which looks like a common issue on this kind of laptop (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=294017). Also, the battery didn´t get charged since then.

Resetting the battery solves the problem only temporary. When rebooting with kernel 3.13.3-201 the same bug occurs again. If the system is booted with an older kernel version (like 3.12.10-300) the bug does not occur.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel 3.12.10-300.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
After resetting the battery and booting with kernel version 3.12.10-300.fc20.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reset battery
2. Boot with kernel 3.12.10-300.fc20.x86_64
3.

Actual results:
Fan howls and does not slow down. After reboot, battery led starts blinking and the battery can not be charged again. 

Expected results:
Usual system start

Please attach the output of dmesg from a fresh boot of both 3.12.10 and 3.13.3.

dmesg output 3.12.10

Output with 3.12.10 -> Battery works normal

Comment 3 DonK23 2014-02-19 16:30:53 UTC
Created attachment 865155 [details]
dmesg output with 3.13.3

And the output with 3.13.3 -> Same bug occured: Fan howled, battery led is now blinking and battery is not charging, altough charger is connected.
So I´ll gonna have to unskrew the bottom of the laptop, reset the battery and boot with the older kernel version again ;)

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 20 kernel bugs.

Fedora 20 has now been rebased to 3.14.4-200.fc20.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Haven´t experienced the bug with new kernel (3.14.4-200.fc20) so far.
