Forgot to CC the following to the list; doing so now:

sorry for the delay in responding; I've been on an airplane for the past
n hours.

/proc/pmu/battery_0:
flags      : 00000013
charge     : 0
max_charge : 3544
current    : 900
voltage    : 20424
time rem.  : 14176

info:
PMU driver version     : 2
PMU firmware version   : 0c
AC Power               : 1
Battery count          : 1

interrupts:
  0:          0 (Total CB1 triggered events)
  1:     282111 (Total GPIO1 triggered events)
  2:          0 (PC-Card eject button)
  3:          0 (Sound/Brightness button)
  4:     260571 (ADB message)
  5:          0 (Battery state change)
  6:      21466 (Environment interrupt)
  7:          0 (Tick timer)
  8:          0 (Ghost interrupt (zero len))
  9:         83 (Empty interrupt (empty mask))
 10:          1 (Max irqs in a row)

options:
lid_wakeup=1
server_mode=0


hmm, charge in "battery_0" is reported as zero, which suggests either a
kernel issue or a battery problem.
