Hi guys,
I had to chenge the HD on my laptop and now it seems like I cant get acpitool working anymore. When I run it I get:
Battery status : <not available>
AC adapter : <error>
Thermal info : <error>
When I do make menuconfig:
-> power management options
[*] Power Management support
[ ] Power Management Debug Support
[ ] Software Suspend (EXPERIMENTAL)
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support --->
CPU Frequency scaling --->
-> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support --->
[*] ACPI Support
[ ] Sleep States (EXPERIMENTAL)
<*> AC Adapter
<*> Battery
<*> Button
<*> Video
<*> Fan
<*> Processor
<*> Thermal Zone
<M> ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras
<M> IBM ThinkPad Laptop Extras
<M> Toshiba Laptop Extras
(0) Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year
[ ] Debug Statements
[*] Power Management Timer Support
<M> ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)
I think this is my current configuration, how can I check that it did compile for sure?
Maybe I have to emerge something else?
Thanks

If you have
| Code: | │ CONFIG_IKCONFIG: │
│ │
│ This option enables the complete Linux kernel ".config" file │
│ contents to be saved in the kernel. It provides documentation │
│ of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in an │
│ on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the kernel │
│ image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used as │
│ input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another kernel. │
│ It can also be extracted from a running kernel by reading │
│ /proc/config.gz if enabled (below). │
│ │
│ Symbol: IKCONFIG [=y] │
│ Prompt: Kernel .config support │
│ Defined at init/Kconfig:211 │
│ Location: │
│ -> General setup │ |
enabled you may just run
| Code: | | zcat /proc/config.gz | diff - /usr/src/linux/.config |

Thank you dgaffuri,
while thinking about this battery problem I worked on my audio as well (it wasnt working). As it turns out, I didnt have installed the ALI card in the kernel, as soon as I "checked" it also the acpitool problem got fixed. I guess that card controls lots of things in my laptop.
Thanks again for your help.
