I have this problem on an LG-E300 laptop with Hardy. noapic fixes is but
that can lead to other problems (random freezing after boot). I also got
it on Fluxbuntu based on Gutsy.

Since this is related to IO timers, could it explain any of these other 
symptoms I'm getting?
-USB devices crapping out (large & small drives, MTP) just becoming 
unresponsive after some use, particularly while other USB traffic going on
-weird system freezes that only unfreeze when there is input from 
mouse/keyboard. i.e. having to constantly move the mouse to cause background 
processing to happen, as if all processes are hanging until there's IO 
interrupts
-slow ATA performance (think this is logged as a separate bug)
-acpi glitches (can't soft restart, plugging in power half way through startup 
causes serious slow down).

Trying noapic or acpi=off eliminate some of the above but result in
instable system.
