laptop re-hibernates after waking up from "battery critical"-hibernation

[René Walendy]

My HP EliteBook 6930p automatically hibernated after the battery drained to a critical level. I connected the charger and tried to resume ubuntu. The boot splash shows, then I get to the lock screen for a few seconds. After that, the laptop switches to hibernate again, even if the battery has been recharged to 50%. The battery indicator states that 1% of battery charge was left for the first ~5 wakeups and re-hibernations. Then the indicator updates but ubuntu still switches back to hibernation mode.
The only way to get the laptop back into an usable state is to pass the noresume boot option in grub, allowing me to start a new session. This of course means that all data of the hibernated session is lost.
