Same here on a Toshiba 1410-s173 noteboook:

[logger] ACPI group battery / action battery is not defined
[kernel] ACPI-0279: *** Error: Looking up [BUFF] in namespace,
AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

I don't think it's happened in less than 24 hours of uptime, during which
everything is good. I have been using suspend to ram daily if that matters
(echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep).

Linux version 2.6.3-wolk1.0 (root@jackass) (gcc version 3.3.3 20040217
(Gentoo Linux 3.3.3, propolice-3.3-7)) #1 Thu Feb 26 16:18:24 CST 2004
