Bug Description

With the last kernel upgrade "linux-generic (2.6.20.15.14) to 2.6.20.16.28.1", my batteries are no more detected.

The tray icon indicate my laptop as always plug in with AC, and in gnome-power-preferences there is no more "battery" tab and no more "display icon on charge" or "display icon when battery present".

Using previous kernel in grub restore the battery detection and the missing function in gnome-power-preferences.

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L10.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in advance!
