Hey, thanks, I found a potentially significant issue, in that you do
not have sbs (the Smart Battery System) ACPI module in your kernel. I
got rid of it, and the battery information appeared on reboot. In
other words, the Macbook (Pro? C2D?) battery is not a SBS battery
(contrary to what I read I forgot where). It could be that the sbs
module interferes somehow with the rest of the battery ACPI system and
causes all the trouble. But then I cannot be sure of this until some
time passes. It looks nonetheless promising.

Works well for me (this is what I am using), though I am not sure why
it does not for you.

There are some mactel-patches that are missing from the 2.2.20 series
(most notable the ir.patch) but I did not get to check the touchpad--
essentially I stopped testing 2.6.20 when I discovered that
ati-drivers-8.30.3 will not build under it (anything above 8.30.3
causes a reboot upon wakeup on my machine, I would be interested in
knowing whether anybody else has managed to make it work).
Anyway, thanks for the config, if you do not hear from me in the next
couple of days or so it means that the sbs thing fixes the battery
issue. ;-)
Cheers,
Stefan
