Ok, this peace of hardware has just been "Ubuntugraded". A simple matter in the 
end it seems, but for the benefit of others to come:
- on first boot edit grub's line for ubuntu: press e, select line that says 
kernel, press e and add noapic and boot
- when in ubuntu, edit grub menu.lst (as shown on instructions) and add noapic 
again to the end of kernel line on both normal and rescue modes.
This problem with tx1020 is now solved.
(I'll try to set up a page for all the other tweaks later somewhere)
