Bug Description
I'm running Ubuntu Dapper on my laptop and after updating it seems that at the end of the GNOME startup procedure my system shuts down immediately. So I just see my desktop, panel and icons for about a second when my screen goes blank and I'm told that shutdown has been initialized.
Also, I have found these workarounds which might be of interest to you:
-) Set acpi=off as a kernel parameter to disable ACPI
-) Before logging in, press CTRL+F1 to go to a text console and then CTRL+F7 to go back to the login screen
When ACPI is enabled I can see that my battery isn't detected. So I suspected that gnome-power-manager assumed the battery level is 0% and shuts down. But that wouldn't make any sense regarding the second workaround. Any thoughts?

Can you please confirm the version of acpid and gnome-power-manager you are running? Also, can you check to see if you get a power button event during bootup which could be causing the shutdown?
There was a bug where gnome-power-manager invoked the critical battery operation even when on AC power, but this was supposed to have been fixed recently. Can you try with and without the power adaptor plugged in and let me know the matrix of behaviours?
Thanks,
