Using 2.6.29 with default kernel params still shows the problem (installed from the instructions at http://www.ramoonus.nl/2009/03/24/linux-kernel-2629-installation-guide-for-ubuntu-and-debian-linux/).
But when used in conjunction with kernel parameters "noapic" & "maxcpus=1" the freezes don't [appear to] happen [yet]. So I do have a workaround now.
The "noapic" & "maxcpus=1" params didn't solve the problem for me when using 2.6.28.
