Jason,

   No message like that, but some other ones related to PCI. Anywho, I added
the "acpi=force" to the append line and it works.

   Is there a translator from milliwatt-hours to time that can be applied to
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state?

   This is great! I'm learning a lot more about my system, and I'm actually
getting some work done today, too. How kewel!
