Same issue. Jaunty, Ubuntu Studio amd_64, 2.6.28-3-rt, fresh install (using old /home directory), Nvidia 7300 gt, gigabyte ds3l mb, core 2 duo e2160, 4gb ram. Succesfully updated.
RULED OUT:
No issues with 7.10 and an upgrade to 8.04. This issue is regardless of the Nvidia drivers. It happens even if uninstalled completely. One of my several fresh installs was greeted with a freeze even prior to attempting to install graphics drivers. I couldn't get the latest 180.51 driver to install at all, nor were attempts succesfull to go back to the 173 driver via Ubuntu's restricted driver package (no x after changing to 173 driver). Disabling screensaver has no effect.
SUSPICIOUS:
Issue seems to me to be related to network activity. To attempt any relatively heavy net traffic seems 100% fatal. I'll note also that my initial attempt at the fresh install was buggy in that DHCP detection made several failed attempts at auto configuration. Subsequent reinstallations went without a hiccup, however.
I haven't figured out how to install the 2.6.30 kernel, so haven't tested. I'm planning to go back to my Jaunty install and disable my network connection and see if I can run stable while doing some real work. If I'm up for 4 or 5 hrs. I'd be pretty satisfied that it's something with the network activity. I'll also get the logs that I should have in the first place before coming to Windows to file this report (I did try in Jaunty, but several hard resets later... :)
