Martin, Did you get it working? I am interested in loading debian on it just as you. I am new to the linux community and have benging my head against the wall for over a week with this. I partitioned a blank sd card to an acceptable beaglebone format, otherwise the sd is automatically labled /dev/mmcblkXXX When I attempt to run the mksdcard.sh and reference the appropriately partitioned SD card, the mksdcard script runs, (displays warning box) but fails immediately. If you can assist in any way or send a link to your dropbox that would be greatly appreciated! -Patrick
