Ok, thanks for the dmesg. Replying to the thread with everybody:

The splat Owen is seeing is the same as this one at the beginning of
this thread here:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8761m7lm3j.fsf@canonical.com

which has a viable fix. Btw, those two splats happen on HP notebooks.

Ok, good, I think we're all solved. Phew :-)

Thanks to all for their help.
