Re: /proc/acpi/battery

I get "No such device."  No messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages. 
More specifically, I get

/lib/modules/2.4.21/kernel/drivers/acpi/battery.o: init_module: No such 
device

Then theres the "Hint" about how insmod errors can be caused and so on.

looking at battery.c, I can see where it makes a /proc/acpi/battery 
directory and then removes it if it can't find the device (I think 
that's what's going on)..  I've only glanced at the code, but I'm 
guessing that ACPI hasn't detected the battery.
