It's hard to say exactly what would cause that - nowadays TuxOnIce
itself tends to be perfectly reliable, but drivers can still cause
problems. Perhaps one or more are playing up on you. Details of the

Are you using an initrd or initramfs? If not, that will be your problem.
I've just addressed this today - the latest git will work without an
initrd or initramfs, but that hasn't been the case for a while.
