Is your SSD over 137 GB? When it freezes? I found my self that Debian 5 and Ubuntu 10 is last that installer support big disks with Booklet 3G. Newer linuxes freezes, because I think there is bug in installer or partition or formatting code. I managed install Ubuntu 12 and Ubuntu 14 as update (not format/erasa any partition when install) over Ubuntu 10. Edit: bad english
