I've done some tests with the 2.4.18 kernel, and I have the same problem. I've noticed that when removing a full-charged battery (either the first one or the second one), a light at the middle of the rear of the machine fluctuates for a few seconds, then switches off; I assume this is because there is no power left and the machine is off too, as I can notice it when opening the lid (the machine is off and when I switch it on, the date is back to 1904-01-01). Perhaps there is even less power when the battery is almost empty.
Would it be possible to force the light to off when changing the battery to use less power? Is there a way to prevent the date from being reset to 1904-01-01? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn / RISC OS / ARM, free software, YP17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
