This is an up-to-date Lucid on an Asus M2N68-AM Plus.
With the stock Firefox (3.6.21), when http://www.new7wonders.com/image-gallery?id=21&post_id=5077 is opened, cpu load increases significantly, mouse pointer movement becomes jerky and finally the system freezes. Sometimes (maybe 1/3 of freezes) the display also goes black. At this point Alt+PrtScr+REISUB works but nothing else. On the M2N68-AM Plus this seems to happen every time, whereas on my other system (an ancient Shuttle, a SS56G I think) it never happens (though the page still does burn cpu quite heavily).
I tried older release kernels down to 2.6.32-27, and Ubuntu 2.6.32-40.87-generic, the issue remained.
I also tried disabling Flash, and the issue remained.
I'm attaching an apport, and a syslog that says the Oops is because "unable to handle kernel paging request". This leads me to suspect this might be the same issue as Bug #834629, but as the circumstances do differ significantly, I decided to report this separately.
I just gave the current 12.04 Beta a spin and am happy to report that the issue seems to have been fixed there.
