I have posted this into Bug#231575.Sorry for reposting it here, but it may be helpful for someone.

it looks like I found a solution. I did the following:

1. downloaded .config for the latest debian kernel (I guess 2.6.26)
2. downloaded the latest kernel (2.7.27.7) from kernel.org
3. compiled it the usual debian/ubuntu(make-kpkg) way using the downloaded .config (with minor almost random modifications)
4. bootted into the custom kernel.

Yesterday I have tested my system for 3-4 hours burning disks, doing cat
./* > /dev/null on several CDs and DVD disks for some manytimes just to
make sure.

I have not seen a single message of the kind reported above. It is close
to 24hours of constant work without these problems. Although I keep my
fingers crossed. If the solution is really working is there a way to
keep a standard debian kernel in my ubuntu sources. I just want all the
security patches and the stability of debian kernel :-)

May be that is a hint to ubuntu kernel team to check what they have
tweaked wrong?
