It just occured to me, I use a busybox based image for my Geode... :)
I gzipped up the ext2 filesystem and put it here:
http://www.infradead.org/~jcrouse/geode.rootfs.ext2.gz
This uses busybox 1.9.2 and kernel 2.6.27. There is a menu.lst in /boot, but the root points to the wrong place. Use
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda1 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
I just booted it with a fresh version of v3 and all was well. Good luck.
