Well, I enabled ACPI battery and everything else like Thermal Temp, Fan, Processor, etc... . Cpufreq is enable and I can monitor the temp and the processor speed. But, battery, fan and ac adapter are not working. Dmesg confirm that there was somekind of problems with ACPI. I'm actually not able to monitor my battery and on a laptop... it is quite important. Gkrellm can't monitor anything and I've tried at least 4 apps and no one worked. So, if you can help me with this, it will be appreciate. David Asus Z9 Laptop, Linux Gentoo 2.6.12-r10 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enable ACPI options in kernel like battery and fan. 2.Compile and reboot 3.Very simple :D
Well, sorry to say but the laptop's BIOS is most probably broken. If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it. *Attach* the relevant dmesg output concerning ACPI issues and reopen then.
Created attachment 67973 [details] dmesg I just upgrade my BIOS and nothing changed. So here is my dmesg. Thanks David
There is my dmesg after BIOS upgrade. David
Hmm, yeah. Looks like b0rked BIOS. :/
Please see if 2.6.13 helps at all. Post dmesg output from there if there is still a problem.
Hi, The 2.6.13 make the same dmesg error for ACPI... In fact this kernel is making Thermal Temp not working... David
