I have similar issues but now that I have grub2 (damn damn) I cannot set the acpi and other options (in a easy way).
Someone pointed out the atheros wirelss chipset as possible problem and I can only partially confirm since I have one myself. The problem only shows up when I use Firefox, not using the wlan. Also, rebooting in winxp and then coming back to 6.10 (with default kernel - whatever version it is) makes the trick. Finally, I have disabled the cpufreq applet to no avail.

-I'll post my own bug :-D
