The same thing happens to me.
I'm running Hardy on Acer Travelmate 660 (Intel 1.4, Intel 855GM graphics and Intel wireless) and before the last update (Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) everything worked perfectly, absolutely no issues.
After the update, my system is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE!!!
I'm getting hangs on everything. Random program crashes, Segmentation faults, X resets, X freezing, complete system freezing, even GDM sometimes crashes. The SysRq keys sometime work and sometime the only solution is hard-reset.
I've ran Memcheck and it reported no errors. Also, before the update there were no crashes. I've tried downgrading to 2.6.24-18-generic but it's the same. I don't know what else got upgraded so I cannot revert to test.
I've also tried both intel and i810 driver and it makes no difference.
Here's a stack trace from firefox that I've managed to catch:
Code:

Please help! I'm ready to supply any debugging info / logs that might help and ready to try installing/removing and generally messing with the system until it works because it's unusable in it's current state.
