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.
