I've run Asterisk on Embedded versions of Hardened Gentoo without a harddrive, 
using a CD drive and a compact flash card. It's been running without any 
problems related to the setup for months. 
I've experienced a few problems with NTP servers becoming unavailable and a 
Uclibc bug when creating too many dial files in the spool directory at the 
same time, but apart from that it's rock stable.

I've been running it on cheap Via Epia hardware so hardware problems will 
likely pop up at some time.
