It doesn't look like there are bad sectors. You may also try all_generic_ide (this will disable some advanced features like NCQ) together with hpet=disable. My fix was for Intrepid (2.6.27) and I have no clue if it works for older versions. I can only confirm after a few days that my laptop never froze again since hpet has been disabled.
