I found your correspondence here last December about that, "Re: battery
display broken". Looks like it's still the same problem, you were on
9-stable then too. When did it used to work?
Hmm, I switched to RELENG_9 shortly before the 9.0 release. It had
worked then, or I'd have PRed a regression.
It stopped working around the beginning of this FSAE season. Probably
between September and December.
On either normal or verbose boot messages, are there any ACPI errors
logged? This smells a bit like some of the Embedded Controller issues
that were coming up late 2010, most resolved by some patches by avg@.
This is from the verbose dmesg:
# dmesg | grep -i bat
battery0: <ACPI Control Method Battery> on acpi0
battery1: <ACPI Control Method Battery> on acpi0
battery0: battery initialization start
battery1: battery initialization start
battery0: battery initialization done, tried 1 times
battery1: battery initialization failed, giving up
Looks right to me. Greping for acpi or fail doesn't yield anything
interesting.
There is a bunch of errors during shutdown, I have a dmesg with verbose
boot, shutdown and normal boot prepared, for whoever wants to look at it.
Someone then worked around some EC issue using debug.acpi.ec.polled mode
rather than relying on notifications, I vaguely recall. You said then
you run only one battery, so hw.acpi.battery.units is also still wrong?
Yes, it's wrong. There is an option to swap out the optical drive for a
battery, I think. But I still have my optical drive.

If there's any indication of ACPI errors on boot (or later) this would
be worthy of a PR, especially as you're not alone in this, on HP gear.
I suppose you've checked HP for any more recent BIOS &/or EC updates?
The bios version reported by dmidecode matches the latest download
from HP:
Vendor: Hewlett-Packard
Version: 68DDU Ver. F.15
Release Date: 01/15/2009
