No ACPI support in kernel

Hello,
I'm pretty much done installing arch on a notebook (Toshiba A660).
I have the problem that when I want to use the dockapp "wmbatteries", it can't start.
It says "No ACPI support in kernel"

The same program works with my eeepc. but i installed an eeepcacpi package.
Is there a toshiba acpipackage? or something like that?

rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus @networkmanager hal acpid laptop-mode fnfxd netfs crond)
ACPID fails to start when booting!

MODULES=(ath_pci uvcvideo !mii !r8169 !ath !ath9k !ath9k_common !ath9k_hw !pcspkr !snd-mixer-oss !snd-pcm-oss !snd-hwdep !snd-page-alloc !snd-pcm !snd-timer !snd !snd-hda-codec !snd-hda-intel !soundcore mii r8169 ath ath9k ath9k_common ath9k_hw pcspkr snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-codec snd-hda-intel soundcore)

Thanks for your help.
It is crucial for me to know, when my battery is empty.
And for that i need wmbatteries.

Re: No ACPI support in kernel

Did you try to find out why exactly acpid fails on boot? Does it work afterwards? Did you check your logs?

Wmbatteries might be using a deprecated ACPI interface to the kernel (/proc stuff) that is being/will soon be phased out.

Re: No ACPI support in kernel

I looked in /proc. There is a Bat1. So everything has to be working right.
I also tried to installed another battery monitor, but still the same error.
If i wouldn't already have acpi support in the kernel, how would i add it?
Write something in mkinitcpio.conf and reconfigure the kernel?

Re: No ACPI support in kernel

If it helps any, here's what my logs are showing on a successful load of acpi:
dmesg | grep acpi

ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x00] lapic_id[0x00] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x01] enabled)
ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x00] high edge lint[0x1])
ACPI: LAPIC_NMI (acpi_id[0x01] high edge lint[0x1])
ACPI: acpi_idle registered with cpuidle

Re: No ACPI support in kernel

Thanks, i'm using batti from AUR now.
It works fine.
It isn't a dockapp, but who cares.
