[ltp] Problems with R51e and 2.6.20

[transacid]

Hi,

I have exact the same problem here. Switching from 2.6.19 to 2.6.20.
Here are the results:
root@warbird ~ # uname -r
2.6.20.3


root@warbird ~ # time modprobe battery

real=092m35.414s
user=090m0.002s
sys=090m0.003s
root@warbird ~ # time modprobe ibm-acpi

real=090m51.626s
user=090m0.002s
sys=090m0.001s
root@warbird ~ # time acpi
     Battery 1: charged, 100%

real=091m23.016s
user=090m0.000s
sys=090m0.002s

If you refer this you see a huge amount of changes, so i think it has
something to do with that:
http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.6/20/drivers/acpi/index.html

What i wonder about is that nobody reported the problem before. i googled
over an hour and all i found was this thread. Attached is my=20
http://www.nabble.com/file/7274/dmesg dmesg .

Thx for suggestions or any help

cheers transacid
