Is there no way we can incorporate the kernel fix with the future
updates? Will install only depending on make being Toshiba? Can anyone
confirm that this affects only few or all Toshiba Laptops?

Title:
  Toshiba Laptop battery not being detected

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I am using Toshiba L650 X5310 laptop and noticed that its not
  detecting battery and hence hibernate function is not available and
  its not able to show the battery status. I searched and found that a
  lot of people are experiencing the same problem, since this needs a
  kernel level fix, no resolutions/wordarounds are posted anywhere. I
  have tried many Ubuntu versions (old and new) and all of them posses
  the same issue. I have even tried several other
  distros(Centos/Mandriva/OpenSuse) but results were the same. Here is
  the demsg

  root@me-Satellite-L650:~# dmesg | grep batt
  [    0.974257] ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery absent)

  root@me-Satellite-L650:~# acpi -V
  Adapter 0: on-line
  Cooling 0: LCD 0 of 7
  Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10
  Cooling 2: Processor 0 of 10
  Cooling 3: Processor 0 of 10
  Cooling 4: Processor 0 of 10

  The Laptop runs without AC power supply, it means battery is able to
  power-up the laptop but it does it show a status. My BIOS has been
  updated to the very latest version and all packages are up to-date.

  root@me-L650:~# cat /etc/issue
  Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l
