I've checked the bug list for the 10.10 and found that this bug is similar to 
the #634702 bug. 
So I've rebooted the 2.6.35-28 kernel with the "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" 
parameter on the command line and everything went fine.
My PC is based on an Asus P6T (X58 Chipset) with a CoreI7 CPU. But because my 
system is overclocked, I have disabled all the power/frequency control function 
in the BIOS: C1E Support, SpeedStep Tech and C-State Tech are disabled to be 
sure that the CPU frequency is as stable as possible. 
When I boot without the parameter on the command line, I have the following 
report from the intel_idle driver in dmesg:
[    2.050129] intel_idle: MWAIT substates: 0x1120
[    2.050130] intel_idle: v0.4 model 0x1A
[    2.050131] intel_idle: lapic_timer_reliable_states 0x2
[    2.053740] ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to intel_idle
So, the driver is loaded and runs even if C-State is disabled in the bios ! It 
could be the cause of the kernel crash.
