Currently with 11.3 my trusty old laptop hardlocks so frequently (every 5-10 minutes) that it is unusable with 11.3 and I basically just ssh into it to troubleshoot now -- much less actually use it.
Have you tried updating the Kernel? On every machine that has had locking issues (only one or two out of several installs now), a simple bump to the next Kernel 2.6.35 has sorted it all out.

I'm working to build a krashdump kernel to troubleshoot: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628166 which I haven't had time to do until today -- hopefully it will expose whatever the nasty little bug in 2.6.34 is. I've had great luck with 2.6.35.1 from Arch, the 2.6.34 kernel there suffered from a similar lockup problem. The key here is to identify what the issue was so it doesn't propagate forward in the kernel and bite us again in 2.6.36 :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
