Hi Gonzalo, Thanks for your detailed report.
There should not be a problem upgrading both RUNNIX and the Firmware, one after the other, with a single reboot. I could not reproduce your problem, I added "rootdelay=10" to a 1.2.6.1 install, and upgraded to 1.2.7, the "rootdelay=10" was automatically added to the 1.2.7 .run.conf file. One difference is AstLinux 1.2.7 added support for USB 3.0 in the kernel (xhci_hcd) but I doubt your previous USB 2.0 mounted drive worked without "rootdelay=10". Anyway, thanks much for reporting what you experienced. Glad you got it working again.
