After a resume from a successful hibernation under
linux, my battery keeps reporting 0% charge=2E I'v put
on AC power for half a day and the battery light
keeps flashing every several minutes=2E It seems
no charging has been done=2E

Any suggestion other than buying a new battery?

Some facts:
=2E=2E It's a Thinkpad 600X=2E
=2E=2E It's redhat limbo beta=2E
=2E=2E I seldom use it without AC power=2E
=2E=2E I removed AC power before hibernation (otherwise
  it won't hibernate)=2E
=2E=2E The linux is installed on the ultrybay second HD=2E
=2E=2E The hibernation partition is on the internal
  first disk which was mostly spined down until
  hibernation time=2E

thanks a lot
