Folks:
I've just made room on my T30 to install NetBSD and while I have
a lot of stuff working and configured now, there's a serious issue
with me not being able to get battery status via ACPI (APM seemed
to hand the machine and ACPI has the added bonus of helping out
with autoconfiguration, so I figured I'd go that route).
Here's a summary of what happens:
Machine/kernel info (and a bunch of ACPI errors), sources are from after
Thor's fixes to the bufcache code (sources probably from Fri night):

acpi0: SCI interrupting at int 9
envstat -l reports lots of interesting fields about the batteries:
acpibat0 present
acpibat0 design cap
acpibat0 last full cap
acpibat0 technology
acpibat0 design voltage
acpibat0 warn cap
acpibat0 low cap
acpibat0 voltage
acpibat0 charge rate
acpibat0 discharge rate
acpibat0 charge
acpibat0 charging
acpibat0 discharging
acpibat1 present
acpibat1 design cap
acpibat1 last full cap
acpibat1 technology
acpibat1 design voltage
acpibat1 warn cap
acpibat1 low cap
acpibat1 voltage
acpibat1 charge rate
acpibat1 discharge rate
acpibat1 charge
acpibat1 charging
acpibat1 discharging
acpiacad0 connected
acpiacad0 disconnected
acpitz0 temperature
However, many of the really interesting fields are not retrieved correctly:
acpibat0 design cap acpibat0 charge rate acpibat0 discharge rate acpibat0 charge acpibat0 charging acpibat0 discharging
Wh W W Wh bool bool
47.52 * * * * *
While performing this query, the kernel outputs:
ACPI-1290: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.GBST] (Node 0xc0a1e140), AE_AML_INTERNAL
ACPI-1290: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT0._BST] (Node 0xc0a1e000), AE_AML_INTERNAL
acpibat0: failed to evaluate _BST: AE_AML_INTERNAL
note that I get a some other errors from the battery as well (I think this
may be due to the acpitz 30s poll?):
acpibat0: failed to evaluate _BST: AE_TYPE
acpibat0: failed to evaluate _BST: AE_TYPE
acpibat0: failed to evaluate _BST: AE_TYPE
But some parameters are retrieved fine, including the manf and chemistry
info:
acpibat0 at acpi0 (PNP0C0A-0): ACPI Battery (Control Method)
acpibat1 at acpi0 (PNP0C0A-1): ACPI Battery (Control Method)
acpibat0: battery info: SANYO, LION, IBM-02K7072, 2965
And envstat -r does report correct-looking values for other battery data:
acpibat0 present
acpibat0 design cap: 47.520 Wh
acpibat0 last full cap: 37.880 Wh
acpibat0 technology: 1
acpibat0 design voltage: 10.800 V
acpibat0 warn cap: 1.894 Wh ( 5.00%)
acpibat0 low cap: 0.200 Wh ( 0.53%)
acpiacad0 disconnected
acpitz0 temperature: 49.050 degC
Any clues/hints?
Thanks!
