The problem did not exist with 6.0-release, it has been caused by some code change between -release and Nov 10th sources. Disabling cmbat with debug.acpi.disabled avoids the laptop to hang. Disabling smbat has no effect. >How-To-Repeat: The problem can be repeated by running "acpiconf -i loop" or "sysctl hw.acpi.battery.life". >Fix: Unknown, sorry >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
