Same problem here (IBM Thinkpad T40p),

I suppose, you don't start with acpi=off, do you? If I modprobe battery
before I start the battery charge applet, my system will not crash and
the applet shows up with low battery (no meaningful indicator, battery
is charged, but doesn't crash :-) ) Seems to be due to an incomplete
ACPI implementation.
