Thanks so much for looking at this bug, it's much appreciated. I've installed the 2.6.25 kernel (I had to install linux-ubuntu- modules-2.6.25-1-386 too, otherwise I got dmesg errors "Could not load firmware file zd1211/zd1211b_ub. Error number -2", and a useless wifi).
So far, all seems good. I have at least twice *definitely* managed to trigger the situation that was causing panics before (attempting and failing to connect to a network), and there have been no kernel panics. Bug #120622 is also fixed (I reported on that bug too). Using this kernel permanently is a bit awkward, due to the lack of nvidia modules. Before, I was using 2.6.22 (with Hardy), which meant having to downgrade nvidia-glx-new to version 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10 from Gutsy. This in turn meant downgrading xorg (aptitude sorted this out for me). I guess I could now upgrade nvidia-glx-new and xorg to Intrepid, with some apt-pinning jiggery-pokery to stop me getting the whole lot. Would that work?
