Description of problem: I have Compaq6715b laptop with two batteris - standard one and external one. After upgrading kernel system apps (kpowersave and gnome-power-manager) and showing that I have 4 batteries installed. Battery 2 is external battery (checked by removing it) and I guess battery 4 is standard one. Battery 1 and 3 are showing constant 98% charge level. Total level of charging and remaining time while working on batteries have nothing in common with real situation. Here are some ACPI logs from dmesg: ACPI: AC Adapter [C1EB] (off-line) ACPI: Battery Slot [C1ED] (battery present) ACPI: Battery Slot [C1EC] (battery present) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This problem had been in early 2.6.25 kernels from Fedora packages, but has been solved. In kernel kernel-2.6.25.14-69.fc8.x86_64.rpm I had been using lately everything had been working properly. Now same problem occurs again. I am using latest kernel-2.6.26.3-14.fc8 How reproducible: Boot latest kernel on Comapaq 6715b laptop Actual results: System apps displays 4 batteries and charge level and remaining time have nothing in common with real situation Expected results: Two batteries visible on system and proper charging level and display time returned.
Seems to be fixed in kernel 2.6.26.5-28.fc8
