Sounds like <http://bugs.debian.org/598104>. Does passing
acpi=copy_dsdt on the kernel command line help?

Ping. Do you still have access to this hardware? If so, do
kernel versions >= 2.6.32-41 still reproduce the bug?
In suspense,

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41592 which seems to
have been fixed in v3.3 (?) might also be relevant.

The bug still exists (no output from `acpi -b`, no gui battery status)
in version '2.6.32-45' of squeeze kernel package
'linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64'.
Passing 'acpi=copy_dsdt' makes no difference.
Battery status works after overriding dsdt, recompiling kernel
following these steps:

Thanks for the update.

Oh, nice! Please test a 3.x.y kernel from sid, squeeze-backports, or
experimental. The only packages from outside squeeze that should be
needed for this test are the kernel image itself, linux-base, and
initramfs-tools.
If we're lucky then v3.0-rc1~12^2~3 (ACPICA: Execute an orphan _REG
method under the EC device, 2011-04-13) fixed it.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

No battery status in kernel version '3.2.17-1~bpo60+1'
(squeeze-backports package 'linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64') or
'3.2.18-1' (sid package 'linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64').

Thanks for checking. Please add yourself to the cc list for [1] so
you can be informed if someone upstream has questions or a patch to
test.
That bug might not be a perfect match for your symptoms, but a
duplicate of that bug matched well so I am guessing the ACPI
maintainers want to track the battery issue and a related AC adaptor
issue together.
