I recently updated to 12.04 from 11.10 and the problem still existed
even with the 3.4 kernel.
Disabling ACPI solved the problem but then the CPUs were running at full speed.
As a Workaround I found this:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI#Trouble_Booting
and booting with acpi=noirq worked for me.
