Hi, Since I upgraded from 6.0-release to 6.0-stable on Nov 10th, my laptop hangs for about 1-2 seconds everytime a battery monitoring tool asks for the cmbat battery status. My laptop is a Dell Precision M70 and shares its motherboard with many other Dell laptops. I can reproduce the problem by running "acpiconf -i loop" or "sysctl hw.acpi.battery.life". The problem did not exist with 6.0-release, so it has been caused by some code change between -release and Nov 10th sources. Disabling cmbat with debug.acpi.disabled avoids the laptop to hang. Does someone know what change to cmbat related stuff could be causing this problem? Thank you! Pierre-Luc Drouin
