I have an IBM T30 with 2 batteries. Yesterday I was running on battery for a while and completely exhausted the secondary battery. The primary never dropped below about 75%. When the secondary dropped, acpi_cmbat1 started spitting out large numbers of errors. acpi_cmbat1: critically low charge! While the messages are correct, they are not really appropriate when the primary battery is fully charged and is both annoying and fills up the log, possibly causing "real" messages to be missed. I would suggest that no battery critical warning be issued unless all batteries are critical. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
