Hi John, You must be using an old version of AstLinux, since it uses /dev/sda for quite some time.
If DSL boots, a "lspci -v" might help. I'd try the just released 1.1.6 image, if nothing else just as a data point. The bottom line is the chipset and the IDE or SATA disk subsystem needs to be recognized by the RUNNIX kernel in order to mount the /dev/sda1 vfat partition.
