How can we tell?  Perhaps battery is NOT supported.  It would certainly be
easier to know if you gave us the error message.

In any event, this is _not_ the same problem, it's a Compaq Presario 2800t
problem.  Compaqs are mostly fixable (HP/Compaq actually cares about Linux
supporting ACPI).  Dell problems are epidemic, and Dell has even been known to
threaten that the use of Linux on an Inspiron could void your warranty.
