I had this issue on my EeePC 901. I took the following actions and have not *yet* seen the issue reappear:

1. Boot from 9.10 NBR Live CD
2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M
3. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
4. install 9.10 NBR
5. Add kernal command "libata.dma=0" in GRUB2 config and rebuild GRUB2 menu

NOTE: When I first got the issue I first tried steps 4. & 5. without doing 1. 2. 3. and it did not fix the issue.
