Hi Paul
( still have to verify CPU speed about which I will report back later)

This is an APM machine. Not an ACPI one.
A bunch of HP fixes went in. If you feel like experimenting more you can
update to current and disable apm at boot and enable acpi. See what
happens.
I booted a snapshot kernel and indeed there is an improvement. Typing
APM actually shows:
$ apm
Battery state: high, 100% remaining, unknown life estimate
A/C adapter state: connected
Performance adjustment mode: manual (1595 MHz)
the battery state, regarding percentage, appears to be correct. When I
booted it was 25% and now it charged up to 100%.
Life estimate is always missing, I suppose the whole capacity is not
reported. Is there a convenient human-readable equivalent of "apm" for
"acpi"? acpidump isn't it.
The ACPI reports from dmesg are:

One of the drawback with this kernel is that I get a delay during boot:
npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: reported by CPUID; using exception 16
fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2
<--- Several seconds delay --->
mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support
vscsi0 at root
But I suppose it has nothing to do with APM/ACPI.
Thank you,
Riccardo
