I just did the same (so ignored the installation instructions from rapol.goutham) but it shuts down for me as well. Both as 'user' and as 'root'
Will try again later and follow the instructions to the letter.

[edit] Tried again with following the instructions, same problem. Shuts down a few seconds after logging in.

I suspect xfce4-power-manager and/or UPower and/or ACPID and/or systemd may all be trying to decide that the N900 needs to be shut down real quick because they may believe that the battery is empty (looking at wrong /sys path or whatever).

This is only a suspicion. For some reason whoever/whatever is aggresive enough to decide to shutdown the N900 is nevertheless too shy to drop something on the syslog. Shameful behaviour, really.

I have not faced the shutdown problem with my device, are you facing this problem since the first boot or after few reboots?

And could you please check syslog (/var/log/syslog). Clear the log using ssh and login using user account and let it shutdown again. Then place post the syslog file here.

Isn't there anything updated in syslog?

Just cloned the image that I have provided to you to my sdcard. But I am not able to recreate the shutdown problem you are facing.
I have written the disk image to the sdcard without any partitions on it. But it doesn't matter even there were partitions on it, this disk image will replace entire partition table. Can you try with other locale settings on your first boot (btw I am using en_IN). May be something is wrong with xfce. Chroot to your sdcard and try installing other DE like openbox or lxde and also try reinstalling lightdm.

Some key combos (based on this layout):

| = Fn + Sh + L
~ = Fn + Dn

EDIT:
Esc = Fn + BkSp
Instead of Tab, Esc-Esc completion works: Fn + BkSp(2 times)

Home = Fn + Sh + L
End = Fn + Sh + R

PgUp = Fn + Sh + Up
PdDn = Fn + Sh + Dn

Scroll Up = Sh + Up
Scroll Down = Sh + Dn

Start of word = Ctrl + L
End of word = Ctrl + R

Start of line = Fn + L
End of line = Fn + R

Fullscreen(On/Off) = Fn + Sh + ,

Right mouse click (context menu?) = Fn + Sh + P

----
What I couldn't figure out:

Window Changer (Alt-Tab) = ?
EDIT: I ended up mapping Cycle Windows to Ctrl+BkSp in Window Manager.

D'oh... so Tab actually is Sh+Space and the Esc-Esc completion fooled me.

The image is booting and everything seems to work. Thank you. This post includes a script to turn on the KB LEDs.
EDIT: update and upgrade went smoothly. Sound is working although i had to install alsa-utils to get it louder with alsamixer. Don`t know if that was the right thing to do.

Yesterday, I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (have done that before this) and the touchscreen's (or rather the mouse pointer's) Y-axis got inverted after a reboot.
I tried adding Option "InvertY" "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf but no luck after a logout or even a reboot.
(I did then try "InvertX" "1" and even "SwapAxes" "1" just to see if there'd be any change but got nothing.)

After clumsily navigating to Settings I managed to start also the Calibrate Touchscreen but that didn't help either.
