Hi,
First, thanks you for the hard work maintaining Liquorix Kernels.
I must admit that i'm pretty impressed with the speed and the reaction of theses.

However, since i installed the kernels 2.6.37 (and 36), i don't have any battery discharge time estimation. The percents are showed but not the time left. Also, my laptop hard shutdown at ~10% of battery.

This is an annoying point and i don't know how to fix that.
Could you tell me what type of informations can i provide to you to help me ?

I'm running Debian Squeeze with laptop-mode-tools.

Can you test this kernel against something more vanilla, like Debian's trunk kernel?

Sure, but Debian is @ 2.6.32 and everything works as intended.

uname -a: Linux H-Debian-Portable 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 03:40:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't think it comes from your kernel, it may be a general kernel regression !

EDIT: After some searchs, i think it comes from an updated thing into the acpi module, so Squeeze may not be compatible with that:

Anyone has a laptop with Squeeze + 2.6.36/37 ?

Some news:
I noticed that, with 2.6.37, acpi -b showed: Battery 0: Discharging, 99%, 01:26:26 remainin

So the bug is closed, because it might comes from an outdated gnome library in squeeze. This is not kernel linked.

Thanks,

EDIT: I don't know how to mark "Solved" on the main title.
