Details

Description:
Battery status (and maybe other ACPI info) on the MSI S271 is wrong once the module 'msi_laptop' is loaded. The module is coming from the Kernel, so I think it's really a Kernel bug.

Workaround:
Blacklist 'msi_laptop' in '/etc/rc.conf' and reboot. It's not enough just to unload the module. No side effects known yet.

Additional info:
Tested on Kernel 2.6.28 (kernel26 2.6.28.1-1)
This task depends upon

If you really think it's a kernel bug, why didn't you submit it upstream?

Assigning, but it's probably upstream so we'll just have to wait for a fix

I submit this bug here, 'cause I think it's helpful for s.o. who's using the same hardware and can find the workaround. For me (and I think for many Arch users) it's one of the first places I'm looking for help. You know, may be it's a bug which all distributions are suffering from, but on Arch you can find a workaround :) If you think I shouldn't do it in the future, I'll not do.

status with 2.6.30 ? This is reported to upstream?
Comment by Filipp Andjelo (scorp) - Tuesday, 16 June 2009, 09:05 GMT
Nothing changed. It's a reported Kernel Bug... since a long time
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Tuesday, 16 June 2009, 12:20 GMT
Could you post a link to the upstream report for the devs to track the issue?
