I applied the patch. after rebooting I was still seeing this message, also I noticed HAL daemon was taking longer to start. when unplugging the A/C adapter with pommed the screen wouldn't dim, and under dmesg nothing about the battery. when unplugging and plugging in. also with suspend the screen took longer than normal to recover. So feeling uncomfortable with how this patch was causing the system to react, I reverted back just to be safe. After reverting it took a few reboots to bring the battery back to a good state. I'm not sure if this was because of ec.c or not. Now before this patch The only chage that I had done was change 5 to 20, after a few day's I did notice this message to dissipate. Maybe this is just something with a macbook pro, and not other computers, with this patch. regards; -- Justin P.
