I experience the same problem on my Samsung N130. I use it with custom installed Kingston SSD Now 64GB hard drive. The problem has risen during installation attempt. So I had to perform the installation of 9.10 with options "acpi=off noapic". Everything went fine, but the freshly installed system was not fully functional - only one thread of CPU is seen and no battery status at all (as ACPI is off). Enabling ACPI causes system hang with all the symptoms identical to described above.
So, for the moment a workaround for me is to boot kernel with "acpi=ht" option.
I guess I should wait for Ubuntu kernel update that fixes the problem. But I'd better compile a custom kernel for now.
