This is emergency charge. When it's too low to boot up, it stays like that for a while, trying to gather enough charge to power up OK.

Not every wall charger, USB port and the like can charge the N900, and the LED goes orange but battery is eaten. Use Nokia's, or a good, non-hubbed port. Also, there could be an issue with your battery.

Leave it solid orange for a while. After half an hour or an hour, try to boot. If it doesn't, use a known good charger. If it does, charge while booted up.

Also, while-off-charging is buggy. Don't do it :P
