I've been having this problem too on my Acer aoa110 (using UNR 9.10) After a few days of using karmic and getting frustrated with the ~1:45 boot times (from grub to desktop) along with the panel configuration problems, I tried to use a PPA kernel (comment #20 in http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/sreadahead/+bug/432089), which bricked my netbook. After trying unsuccessfully several times to reinstall karmic by using sysresccd for gparted (wasn't trusting karmic at this point), and doing a testdisk I noticed there was a read error at cylinder 257, along with an intermittent read-error at sector 1. I gave up and did a wipe of the drive (not using dd. wipe. took about six hours). Read-error went away, partitioning worked fine, karmic finally installed, but no change to boot times. Gah! I'm going back to jaunty until 10.04 comes out. Which is a shame, because I like the new UI in karmic, but I've decided not to risk my ssd for eye candy.
