OK, good to know. Your extra line made the battery status work, but there are
still minor problems:

- I get the same AML warnings as with the Linux patch -- can this be due
  to an older version of the iasl compiler wrt the current ACPI drop?
  I noticed that the distfile for the current acpicatools port had
  disappeared from the intel website. Anyway, fdc still gets detected
  later on, although I don't even have the floppy bay installed
  right now, so I haven't done any floppy tests. I'll try to see if
  the warnings break things next.

  (see the attached dmesg for the AML warnings by the way)

- The battery time is indicated as '00:00:00' when the laptop is on AC
  power. Minor nit, maybe this is expected behaviour?

Thanks for the guidance.
