Enter to Terminal

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

then go to the kernel line and insert "apic=off" see here:

title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic root=UUID=a2dd92fe-4444-44fe-994a-dd45857b05f0 apic=off ro quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic
quiet

With this option its possible to use the laptop until the bug is fixed.
