2006-06-11 20:58:50 Robert Collins powermgmt-base: statusexplanation I've confirmed this. My guess is that acpid is not up with the right modules when the checkfs/checkrootfs calls occur... mjg59 confirms this - the battery and ac modules need to be loaded for this script to work.

When booting on battery power, the on_ac_power script fails with an error code of 255 causing a fsck. Binary package hint: powermgmt-base Machine is a Dell Latittude X1 running Dapper with a stock 2.6.15-23-686 kernel. When booting on battery power, the on_ac_power script fails with an error code of 255. This has the result of allowing fsck's to occur during bootup on battey which is undesirable.

2009-01-07 12:32:42 Loïc Minier acpid: statusexplanation Modules need to be loaded earlier /sbin/on_ac_power is in powermgmt-base, so I'm reassigning this bug over there. Of course the easiest and fastest case is to build the modules in the kernel; that's the case in jaunty but doesn't help hardy nor custom kernels. On my system, the aforementioned modules are loaded automatically during boot even when not specified in /etc/default/acpid, so it's probably just a race that on_ac_power needs the modules loaded. I think on_ac_power could be improved to test for ACPI support and modprobe the relevant modules if the information is not present yet (just like we load modules to find the rootfs).
