Hi,
	Normally the pciehp module option fixes those hangs. The
eeepc-acpi-scripts should also install a file in /etc/modprobe.d with
the options. Check to make sure you have it, and if not see what version
your acpi scripts are. Have the option in two files I don't think would
cause your problem, but make sure you only have it in one file to be
sure. Otherwise I cant think of why it is hanging for you.

Cheers

Glenn
