Could you try to load the battery and ac module and check then /proc/acpi and lshal?
Comment 7 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 10:46:31 UTC
uuups... which module is this?
Comment 8 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 10:50:53 UTC
Forget about that question - it's my stupid day...

/proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/alarm:

so it simply seems the autoloading of ac and battery is for any reason missing.
I'm not aware that I removed it from sysconfig...

Comment 9 Danny Al-Gaaf 2006-03-09 10:55:38 UTC
acpid should load the modules. Could you paste this lines from /etc/init.d/acpid:

ACPI_MODULES=
DEFAULT_ACPI_MODULES=
Comment 10 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 10:58:32 UTC
found that /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common:ACPI_MODULES is set to "NONE", which
explains what's going on.

As already mentioned - I didn't change it myself...
Comment 11 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 11:02:16 UTC
Now (after removing the NONE) I have

ACPI_MODULES=""
DEFAULT_ACPI_MODULES="ac battery button fan processor thermal"

which should work now...
Comment 12 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 11:37:49 UTC
... hmm - and now I'm back at the point I had with my D600..
system reaches maximum temperature, clock is reduced to 800MHz. After cooling down, scaling_max_freq stays at 800MHz, meaning it doesn't go back to 2GHz...

Seems this needs further investigation...
Comment 13 Danny Al-Gaaf 2006-03-09 11:50:41 UTC
this problem is a dub of bug 119836
Comment 15 Stefan Behlert 2006-03-09 13:29:38 UTC
Regarding comment 8: Did you make an update or a new installation Juergen?
Comment 16 Juergen Orschiedt 2006-03-09 13:37:51 UTC
I made an manual upgrade by rpm -Fvh */*rpm 
Seems I didn't catch all *rpmsave for crosschecking...
Comment 17 Stefan Behlert 2006-03-09 13:41:29 UTC
Ok, thanks. Danny, Holger: We should look at this when we test update.
Comment 18 Holger Macht 2006-03-17 23:49:35 UTC
Regarding the missing acpi modules, I can't reproduce it, sorry.

In regard to the temperature problem:
Thomas, maybe this is still not fixed or is this a completely different issue like in #119836
Comment 19 Holger Macht 2006-03-27 09:26:12 UTC
bug 119836 got reopened and is not fixed. Closing this bug as duplicate...
