Hi Vito,
that problem is related to the PMU.
The PMU is also the part that is responsible for battery charging.
It is always working when any power supply is available. And it is
indeed totally independant of any OS.
The PMU controls the power to all other devices in the PowerBooks and
will turn the system power off if the OS doesn't respond and react the
way it expects it to do.
I'm currently using a kernel with a PMU driver that I patched in order
to prevent these power offs. I have had none so far in one week. I did
not use it that often but quite a few hours.
You can download the miboot kernel image from my webspace:

Please report the results.
Tobias
P.S.: You're right, I'm German. Is German funny?
new kernel, new error, my pb1400 keeps turning off in the middle off usage ,
I could be using it 5 minutes or 5 hrs in gnome with the 2.4.30 gcc kernel\

Thanks for the info and warning. But is linux nubus sarge charging the battery
even if it does not show it?
From my semi-electro-technical knowledge, I guess that the OS is not
related to whether your battery is charged at all.
Further if you leave your PB turned off it will definitely keep charging
the battery. You can even feel it ;)
Cheers,
Florian
