Thanks for the hint, I completely forgot about this possibility. After 10 hours of fighting, I managed to bootstrap a Debian system, but unfortunately the network still does not work. Here is a rough summary: - I started the default Fedora system on the NAND, and installed a Debian system on the hard drive according to our installation manual. http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/fr.armel/apds03.html - I converted the linux and initrd images to the u-boot format using mkimage, according to the following blog entry: ‘http://blog.bofh.it/debian/id_265’. Similar instructions are available on the Debian wiki and on Martin Michlmayr's website: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Arm/OtherPlatforms http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/qnap/ts-209/uboot.html - I booted the Debian system according to the instructions at ‘http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/openrd/install.html’, with a couple of modifications: ‘ide reset’ instead of ‘mmcinit’, ‘root=/dev/sda2’ added to the boot arguments. The Debian system does not manage to request and IP at boot time, and actually freezes a couple of lines later; I do not know if it is related.

If there is interest for a but report (kernel?, debian-installer?), please let me know. Otherwise, I will wait for a while that more exprerienced persons report successful installs of Debian on the OpenRD-Ultimate: Google only reports a few hits for that keyword, and a couple of them are duplicata of this thread in mailing list aggregators… http://www.google.com/search?q=%22openrd-ultimate%22 (I am also waiting to be accepted in the OpenRD Google Group for seeking help there).
