Hello,

a got a little Easter egg... :)

This morning I switched on my T43 and now the (orange) battery indicator
was flashing?  Later I found out, that may Thinkpad thinks it got a new
battery (BAT1 in UltraBay)... but the bay still contains my cd-rom
drive.

Plain acpi interface and tp-smapi say to me that there is another
battery.  

    $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
    capacity state:          critical
    charging state:          charged
    present rate:            0 mW
    remaining capacity:      0 mWh
    present voltage:         0 mV

Has anybody seen this before?

    Have a nice Easter Sunday!
    Marcus Obst
