No real answers but...
BIOS power management settings for when on battery?
It is a HP, so no real BIOS config... I can set the date and select the default boot device and thats it. On the other hand, problems happen when I am actively working, so there should be no power saving...
HD power management settings (hdparm)?

Yes, same. As soon as I try to read something from disk: # dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null # dmesg ..........

Tried a different Linux or Linux Live-CD? (To eliminate OpenSUSE)
Well, only openSUSE live CD... with the same symptoms But today I found some "Gentoo System rescue CD", it said version 2.0.2, kernel 3.0.something, and could not reproduce the problem within 15 minutes (usually I can do that immediately after taking out the power cable) I will try to download some more live images and try with them...
