Victor;

whatever causes your problem, your assumption seems wrong to me.

I've untarred Bering-uClibc_4.3.4_i486_syslinux_ser.tar.gz and had a
look into initrd

mkdir tmpdir;cd tmpdir
zcat ../initrd.lrp | cpio -i

/tmp/leaf/tmpdir$ ls lib/modules/pata*
lib/modules/pata_acpi.ko    lib/modules/pata_it8213.ko
lib/modules/pata_rdc.ko
lib/modules/pata_ali.ko     lib/modules/pata_it821x.ko
lib/modules/pata_sc1200.ko
lib/modules/pata_amd.ko     lib/modules/pata_jmicron.ko
lib/modules/pata_sch.ko
lib/modules/pata_atiixp.ko  lib/modules/pata_legacy.ko
lib/modules/pata_sis.ko
lib/modules/pata_isapnp.ko  lib/modules/pata_marvell.ko
lib/modules/pata_via.ko


The geode image does not provide these modules, as they aren't needed.
As you can see below, pata_amd.ko is not loaded on a the geode ALIX box
(first 4.3.x, second 5.x)

I've also successfully installed from the geode-image onto a spare ALIX
box last week.
It booted without further configuration, once I have solved the "leading
slash issue in syslinux.cfg".

It simply doesn't help YOU, if you continue looking in the wrong place.
