    Upgrading my Dell Latitude C600 from 5.0 to -current I started to notice
    strange errors with ACPI. From boot -v:
    acpi_cmbat0: battery initialization start
         ACPI-0293: *** Warning: Buffer created with zero length in AML

    It gives this warning many times and after init:
         ACPI-0293: *** Warning: Buffer created with zero length in AML
             -0166: *** Error: UtAllocate: Attempt to allocate zero

    and finally:
    acpi_acad0: acline initialization done, tried 7 times
    acpi_cmbat0: battery initialization failed, giving up
    acpi_cmbat1: battery initialization failed, giving up

    So fBSD thinks, that the laptop is running with no batteries and apm
    shows the same. Any fix to this problem? 5.0 was running nicely and apm
    showed information about the battery life etc. Hope this gets fixed
    before 5.1 release. Full dmesg @ http://bsd.ee/~olev/dmesg
