Apparently this happens because powersaved takes the battery status information from hald and the following kernel changes make hald crash on my system: http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=43104f1da88f5335e9a45695df92a735ad550dda http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bd00949647ddcea47ce4ea8bb2cfcfc98ebf9f2a http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c182274ffe1277f4e7c564719a696a37cacf74ea http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9bde7497e0b54178c317fac47a18be7f948dd471 http://kernel.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=36679ea59846d8f34a48f71ca1a37671ca0ad3c5 (ie. after reverting them hald works again).
