A likely candidate for this could be the powersave scripts. Can you please uninstall the pm-utils-powersave-policy package, and check if it still happens?

If so, please reinstall it again, and try this instead:

  sudo mv /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm.orig

If it still happens, please move it back with

  sudo mv /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm.orig /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/95hdparm-apm

Right after you encounter such a freeze, can you please reboot and attach /var/log/kern.log?
