The first ACPI Error message indicates not being able to access the Embedded Controller (EC), which among other problems that may cause, is why ACPI can't get information on your battery status [\\_SB_.BAT0._STA] There have been recent commits to acpi_ec.c and other ACPI code - you could try booting 8.2-BETA1 from a CD or memstick to see if that helps? - otherwise you're likely to be asked to provide info on your machine's ASL etc. Best to be well prepared first by studying: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html cheers, Ian
