Hello,
i was trying to install TrixBox CE on a system that is built by:
Motheroard: Intel D945GCLF2
Enclosure: mini-box.com M300LCD
Power supply: mini-box.com PicoPSU 90 (recommended for this motherboard)
RAM: JetRam 512 DDR2
HDD: Transcend 8GB CF 266x

The problem was that when i was trying to install Trixbox, at the first boot after installation, it took ages for the system to boot up giving me some error prompts, like:
Trying to resume from LABEL=SWAP-hda3
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-hda3)
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystem
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not suncing: Attempted to kill init!

I thought that this must be a problem of the enclosure's built in CF to IDE adapter and i was right, because i tested the same setup with a different CF/IDE adapter (from PC Engines GmbH) and it worked just fine (finding the CF memory as an Enhanced IDE Hard Disk Drive working at 133Mb/s).
The schematic diagram and some pictures of the PC Engines GmbH CF/IDE adapter that works well, are shown in the following link:

I built a similar box in the

I built a similar box in the M200-LCD case. Not sure if I used your MB or the previous ver but I seem to recall that the NIC is the problem - you may need to go to Intel.com and get the NIC diver code and put it on a USB stick. Then, in the bios turn off the NIC - then boot - the system will boot. Now compile and install the new NIC driver. reboot and re-enable the NIC in BIOS and all should be well.

The other thing might also be using the ide=nodma switch in your grub.conf file
