Battery monitor doesn't detect battery

[Peter Brewer]

On all versions of Ubuntu I have run the battery applet shows up but doesn't detect the battery. On going to kcontrol it tells me that certain modules are not loaded. On listing modules the battery module is shown as loaded. Also recompiling the kernel with these modules installed as default doesn't seem to help.
