Package: tp-smapi-modules-2.6.26-2-686 Version: 2.6.26+0.37-6+lenny3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
hi, since i run aptitude safe-upgrade the last time, just a few days ago, i mentioned that my thinkpad losts its battery sometimes. it seems to be an smapi problem, i guess so, because i saw the tp-smapi modules updated with safe-upgrade. after a reboot, my thinkpad t42p reported the battery as idle when running with external powersource. i didnt test what happens when i pull out the wire! i also mentioned that it will report a dead battery sometimes when battery still have 70% and goes to standby mode, or tries to. the battery is almost new, and works really well for 1 year now. i dont see the problem here. also testes with a second battery, old one, and could reproduce it 2 times with old battery (within 1 week or so). when linux tries to go standby, it does not always work, because of active wlan (ath5k), maybe the radeon driver with opengl, dont know, sometimes fails. when booting again, or come back to x after failed suspend to ram, it will suspend again and again running in a loop until i put in a powersource. this is really bad and makes the machine unsuseable causing a lot of trouble sometimes, cant reboot cleanly and had to press poweroff button :( some more details: i use a thinkpad t42p, and one missing feature of my firmware is indeed the lack of some smapi features. like fore_uncharge or charge, or use 2 batteries simultaneously. this is a common problem of the smapi on some thinkpad models, i had already the latest firmware and bios, but this does not fix the smapi bugs on this machine. but battery was never a problem before last safe-upgrade. it appears exactly after i run safe-upgrade the last time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tp-smapi-modules-2.6.26-2-686 depends on: ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 2.6.26-21lenny4 Linux 2.6.26 image on PPro/Celeron tp-smapi-modules-2.6.26-2-686 recommends no packages. tp-smapi-modules-2.6.26-2-686 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
