I suspect that a SATA drive and Runnix don't mix very well.

I've had AstLinux 0.4.x and 0.3.x running fine on a SATA drive for some 
time, but using the Runnix scheme has been a non-starter.  I tried 
Darrick's newer images: 1873, 1907, 1924, and 1934 using a variety of 
installation methods...  Windows, dd, etc, without success.  I know that 
its getting stuck in runnix because a 'cat /proc/cmdline' shows:

initrd=runnix.img root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/runnix runimg=auto 
console=tty0 rootdelay=10 BOOT_IMAGE=runnix

which is the runnix environment, whereas astlinux's command line 
contains a version like:

... astlinux=geni586 astimg=astlinux-0.6-1934.run astkd=auto asturw=auto...

My test systems don't have any IDE controllers/interfaces, and are 
modern desktops.
