If I activate ACPI on my IBM Thinkpad T40p, the gnome battery applet shows up with 0%.
If I check /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state I get:
present: yes ERROR: Unable to read battery status
Is this usual for the current status of acpi support or is there an
error?

There are two modules that work for the battery monitor.
Try running modprobe battery ac
I had to add these two modules to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file until they were added to initscripts
insmod ac and insmod battery should also work.
I take it that you have acpi=on set in your kernel line.
