Had exactly the same problem with freezing Lenovo S12 on Atom and Intel graphics. Tried Ubuntu NR, Kubuntu 10.10, Slax and OpenGeu - behaviour is nearly the same.
Today tried to add "nolapic_timer" on Mint 10 - works great! no freezes noticed on boot or regular jobs.
Next, will install Kubuntu 10.10 and try this trick over there..
