I have a similar problem, however it happens all the time. Tried on two computers, both fail the same way. I tried the 'generic' and the 'i386' install, same thing. Before I tried reinstalling from a CD, I tried installing other 10.04 kernels on the broken upgraded system to no avail (I tried generic, generic-pae, i386 every kernel available under 10.04). One machine is a K7, the other is a Via 800MHz ITX (everyone has one of those right?) with nothing special other than an asterisk card installed and a single ATA hard drive and a single ATA CDROM on their own IDE cables. I went through the normal install on ubuntu-server-10.04 release in order to try getting a 'fresh' install. I install the entire operating system on /dev/sda5 (the first extended partition). Once the install is finished, the system reboots and guess what? Nothing. It sits there and after one minute it prints out the message "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [events/0:6]". It repeats this message every minute. The hardware works fine with Ubuntu 9.10 server, even ran memtest for a few hours, never had a problem until I did a 'do-release- upgrade' to 10.04 then all hell broke loose and I lost an entire day of working trying to figure out what the deal was, how could ubuntu (or linus, it appears to be a kernel problem) have dared release something without testing it on older hardware? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on a dual-proc P4 3GHz machine, and two 64-bit AMD machines and it works fine! Its just the older systems that won't seem to work.
