I've got a fairly new Intel Centrino 915GM/PCI-express based laptop that needs 
the ACPI-related kernel param 'ec_burst=1' to show the battery status. You could 
try it, perhaps it'll work. Then again, the Fedora kernel does not work with my 
laptop at all, only vanilla 2.6.14[.2] works (most recent Fedora kernel just 
panics at boot). Come to think of it, not a single FC4 kernel has ever worked 
with ACPI enabled on this laptop.
