My inspiron 6000 (Pentium M) exhibits this problem on at least 2.6.15-23-686 and 2.6.15-25-686, and the max_cstate fix:
echo 1 > /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
Fixes it. As an added bonus, with -25 I get some weird timing problems (beeps sound for different lengths, the "zooming" box that animates when you click a gnome panel icon is erratic, etc), which are also fixed with the above command.
