Similar problem now exists in Feisty with my laptop listed above. Instead of completely locking up the machine it just makes the cpu max out at 100% making the laptop extremely slow but still able to shut down safely. Applied acpi=noirq at the end of the boot line in grub and it fixed the problem again. Let me know if you need additional info.
