forced hibernate with full batteries..

English Hardware
1

hi,

I am experiencing a pretty annoying problem; when waking the laptop from suspend the system goes back to suspend once the wake-up is done. After that it does a forced hibernate directly after a second wake-up from suspend, claiming that the batteries are almost completely depleted. However the batteries are in fact full, and I know this because after waking the computer from hibernation I can use it for almost 4-5 hours.

I have realised a couple of things while trying to pinpoint the specifics of the problem:

  • the problem only occurs when waking from suspend when the laptop is not connected to the adapter.

  • the problem seems to occur only when the extra batteries (attached via the dock connection)

I am running SUSE 11.2 on a Toshiba Portege R100 by the way.

Any help is really appreciated!
