I just booted with 2.6.24-17. It appears to solve the problem. My usual test is to start copying large files (to an external disk), and try to show/hide Yakuake. Which to my surprise, doesn't freeze mid way through the screen. Making multiple threads read from /dev/zero (see below), with atop reporting disk busy at 99%, I still have a responsive system.
