| @Andy, here some outputs:

| cat /sys/devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat/current_now
| cat: read error: Timer expired

Something's broken somewhere... there have been issues with HDQ
communication timing but that's only on 2.6.26+ branches IIRC.

The obvious thing to do would be swap out with another CC battery and
see if the problem belongs to that battery or the Freerunner, but I
guess you only have the one battery.

Timeout error as shown typically means either the battery HDQ pin is not
connected, but it can mean other things like our timing is wrong talking
to it, pin on CPU is dead, etc.
