I also have a similar problem with an HP dm1 laptop and kernel 2.6.38-9-generic. For me the problem is triggered by rsync, especially when copy very large files (greater than the laptop physical memory). The system eventually hangs in my case. However, I tried the -server kernel, and the problem disappeared. Not the best option for a laptop, but at least it doesn't hang...
