mathq Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hello everyone! I succeeded installing Lion to my desktop computer. I then made a DMG image of my partition so that I could transfer it to my laptop. (the trackpad and USBs didn't work during the installation, so I was not able to make the installation directly from the laptop) But, I'm experiencing some problems with the battery. As you could see on the screenshot, there's the battery icon, and there's an X in it. It says: "No battery is available", "Power Source: battery". Thanks for any help, xmath279 EDIT: The temporary solution is to take AppleACPIPlatform.kext from 10.6.7 Link for 10.6.7 AppleACPIPlatform.kext AppleACPIPlatform.kext.zip EDIT 2: Here is the solution: Thanks to bcc9 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/256503-no-battery-is-available/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnapalm Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 For some reason ACPIDevice->evaluateObject("_BIF", &acpi) in VoodooBatteryDevice::information returns kIOReturnError in Lion, while in Snow Leopard it returns kIOReturnSuccess. Strangely in AppleACPIBatteryManager::getBatteryBIF the same method fProvider->evaluateObject("_BIF", &batteryBIF) returns success in both Lion and Snow.

miqlas Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm not sure, where is the bug, can You tell me, where get you the Info about the _BIF section? You started the OSX with debug kernel flag? I'm tested the Lion DP4 with AppleACPIBatteryManager and with the VoodooBattery kext. None of them works for me. Maybe the ACPI handling changed in the Lion? I don't think so... Dear oldnapalm, if i can help, feel free to contact me, i have 64bit Lion with Dev Tools installed (XCode). I have a little buggy Battery section in my DSDT (Sometimes the VoodoooBattery have an x in the battery icon on the menubar, but i can fix it with an sleep-wake cycle. (I can't found the problem). AppleACPIBatteryManager thinks i have 2 battery bay (no, i have only 1) in SL. Maybe it attached to wrong ACPI device... If You need, i can attach my whole dmesg log from Lion.

Pndo1 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks! My battery wasn't showing before I restored the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from my 10.6.7 install. Now I don't have to listen for a little beeping to tell me that my battery is almost dead. I was going to try this, but I was afraid that I would ruin my Lion install because my friend had some problems with his AppleACPIPlatform.kext on his machine. Thanks Again!

tamorgen Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Using the 10.6.7 Apple kext is working for me on the App store release of Lion. Now everything is working as with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
