The generic images should work. What we're running into is a difference in device drivers for the disk interface. We have a few possible ideas, but it may be a few days before we have something that Shamus can test.
Basically, there are two different kernel driver stacks that can be used to address Parallel ATA (PATA) also called IDE devices. The newer one has some issues with specific hardware. We may need to revert back to the "deprecated" legacy drivers or find a way to make both play nicely together.
