No such file. Looked all over /proc/acpi/. Nothing in /var/log/messages. Search beneath /sys. On my thinkpad battery interface went to /sys/bus/platform/devices/ Ok, I see it /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/battery and bind, uevent and something in pink beneath that but I can't read them permission denied. But I'm logged in as root wah! Maxim

But I'm logged in as root wah! Well this is the kernle module, drivers are always the wrong choice if you want something out of the sysfs. and the something in pink ist the link to the device, iirc.

[gentoo-user] no battery state/info in minimal-x86-install-20090526.iso?
Hi group, Just booted into the latest iso on my netbook and first I wanted to check the battery state: #cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. No such file. Looked all over /proc/acpi/. Nothing in /var/log/messages. So I do #modprobe battery but that doesn't do it. This is an Asus product, so I do #modprobe asus_acpi and get: FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No such device. Is there a new way to find out how much charge is left on the battery, the rate of charge etc? The charge light is starting to flash so something must be checking it. Maxim
