This has occurred with one SPECIFIC violet-label battery - so I cannot tell whether it is only the fault of that specific battery, or if it is a question of the interaction of that battery with the software. Much of the time. my XOs run with AC plugged in. As far as I can remember, one XO-1 with a GoldPeak (violet label) battery, using Q2E41 and running an updated soas04xo build, had its Power light green. I started flashing newer ROMs. I believe it was the second time I booted that XO-1 with Q2E42 that its Power light started flashing red (at substantial intervals). I pulled the AC and pulled the battery and let the XO-1 sit. When I plugged everything back in and booted, I believe the Power light went green. When I flashed Q2E42a on that XO-1, its Power light went orange (and after boot, Frame showed the battery 11% charged). When I flashed Q2E42b on that XO-1, its Power light continued to be orange (and after boot, Frame showed the battery 18% charged). I transferred the battery to an XO-1 using Q2E41 and running build 802B1. Here too, the Power light was orange, but this time the Frame here showed the battery 80% charged. As I said, it may be the battery. But I am surprised at how RAPIDLY that battery went from nearly fully charged (at the beginning) to nearly empty (with Q2E42, etc.), and how RAPIDLY that battery went from 18% charged (on Q2E42b) to 80% charged (on Q2E41, different machine). mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
