Hi! I am trying to use it. First of all it seems it is a U-Boot image so I had to: # dd if=uInitrd of=initrd-armhf.gz bs=1 skip=64 (OK not the most efficient way to do it but anyway...) At the U-Boot prompt I load my kernel (that already contains all the drivers) and the initrd: > tftp 800000 hurricane/uImage > tftp 4000000 debian/initrd-armhf.gz > sete bootargs 'console=ttyAMA0,115200 initrd=0x4000000,0x367887' > bootm 800000 The installation starts correctly but at some point I am asked to insert a mirror hostname and directory manually. I tried: ftp.debian-ports.org /debian http://opensource.exmeritus.com /mirror/debian-ports But they all fail saying: The installer failed to download a file from the mirror. This may be a problem with your network, or with the mirror. You can choose to retry the download, select a different mirror, or cancel and choose another installation method. The network works, if I open a shell from the menu I can wget some files from external http hosts and so on. I did a wireshark and I see that the board tries to: GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/oldstable/Release <- 404 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/stable/Release <- 404 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/testing/Release <- 404 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/unstable/Release <- 200 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/sid/Release <- 200 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/sid/main/binary-armhf/Release <- 200 GET /mirror/debian-ports/dists/sid/unstable/Release.gpg <- 200 So even if it cannot find the older releases, it does find what it needs in unstable/sid, but refuses to continue anyway...
