Hi Michael, First, I tried the "astlinux-1.2.7-genx86_64-serial.iso" dd'ed to USB drive, booted on an APU2 with attached serial terminal (minicom) at 19200 baud. Worked perfectly, arrow keys navigated the menus, installed, removed USB drive and it booted as expected. Possibly your terminal program was not sending the arrow keys properly ? Each menu item also has a single key associated with it, the install image selection has '1', '2', or '3' .
I also tried the official production astlinux-1.2.7 upgrade for genx86_64-serial (APU2) and it worked as expected. From your log info below, this seems like you typed "ssh" at the RUNNIX boot prompt ... The "error: unable to read superblock" and "failed to setup loop device"" does look bad, could well be a failing (failed) SSD.
