Battery status of Acer 1414WLCi fails after some time
I bought a Acer Aspire 1414WLCi and I decided to install the Debian(sarge and then I updated for testing) on him.
After several days I configured sound, video, wireless, but I still had problems with the battery status.
After search on the Internet I found the http://acpi.sf.net and the
http://sbs-linux.sf.net, and then rebuilding the kernel(2.6.12.3) with
the ACPI patch and rebuilding the DSDT table of my laptop, I could fix
the battery status problem.
Now when I start the system I receive:
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)
ACPI: AC Adapter [ACAD] (off-line)
ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3])
ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports 8 throttling states)
ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]
ACPI: Lid Switch [LID]
ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SLPB]
ACPI: Fan [FAN0] (off)
ACPI: Fan [FAN1] (off)
ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (49 C)
But a problem still persists.
After some time using the laptop, the battery status disappear.
If I give the command: $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/status
I receive:
present: yes
ERROR: Unable to read battery status
The dmesg command shows:
ACPI-0105: *** Error: Could not allocate new owner_id (32 max), AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT

When this happen the only way of have the battery status back is restating the laptop.
I don't know what to do now. I need help.
Thanks!!
