battery not recognized

dear folks,

I'm on a sony vaio laptop (yes, I know...) and since upgrade to kernel 2.6.29 it refuses to recognize my battery. dmesg gives

ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery absent)

and acpi -V just says

Adapter 0: on-line
Thermal 0: ok, 52.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 105.0 degrees C
Thermal 0: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 95.0 degrees C
Thermal 1: ok, 52.0 degrees C
Thermal 1: trip point 0 switches to mode critical at temperature 105.0 degrees C
Thermal 1: trip point 1 switches to mode passive at temperature 95.0 degrees C
Cooling 0: Processor 0 of 10
Cooling 1: Processor 0 of 10

I've been using the sony-laptop module.
Were there any changes I would have to adapt to, and what would I have to adapt? =)
