I tried all of the last kernel versions. Oopses, kernel panics or hard system  
locks happen all of them:

/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-13-generic ---> the generic oopsedon me just recently
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.8-testing+ ---> one of the old versions thought was not 
tainted by the bug (built it from ubuntu  git)
/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.14-030014-generic  ---> an old version (as above) rebuilt 
from kernle.org git 
/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.7-custom           ---> oopsed and crashed
/boot/vmlinuz-3.3.0-rc4-custom       ---> had no actual oopses or kernel panics 
dumped to a console, however had few system freezes, as well as very unreliable 
pm-hibernate and a bug when a wireless stops working all of a sudden

I am attaching a new kernel stacktrace generate on 2.6.38-13-generic. I saw a 
few other one without syslog being able to capture them. 
I do have a photographs of those actually and can attach them as well if needed.

First I started to suspect a hardware problem. Ran th mem86 test for
about 20 hours without any errors. Installed mcelog, it doesn't seem to
help. However,

What I could notice though, that two of the kernel oopses had this line:

last sysfs file:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.4/0000:09:04.0/net/wlan0/statistics/collisions

At the same time the release candidate 3.3.0-rc4-custom has a bug when the 
wireless would stop working in the middle of the session. The only way to turn 
it back on was to reboot the system and rmodding-modpbbing ath5k did not help. 
Therefore a possible culprit might be the wireless card and ath5k module. I am 
not sure if a faulty wireless card can crash a system, so for now I do not rule 
this out as well.
I will try searching the net on this matter as well using the wired connection 
only.
