Ok talking to the reporter on IRC this is the i386 live CD as at 07-apr-2010.

As we see ureadahead-other running we have at least got out of the kernel into userspace before the issue appeared. The BUG: lines should include a stack trace and that trace would give us some clue as to the source of the soft-lockup. You may be able to boot the machine to single user (using single on the kernel command line) and be able to see the whole trace with the dmesg command. Getting a photo or similar of that and attaching it to the bug would be helpful. Right now its impossible to know what the cause is.
