I downloaded: ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-armel/current/images/kirkwood/netboot/marvell/dreamplug/ 7bc3332ed880606509511c7b4b439266 uImage 6afad330c6d75296255782e79226c94a uInitrd Then: Marvell>> set autoload no Marvell>> dhcp Marvell>> setenv serverip 192.168.1.7 Marvell>> tftpboot 0x00800000 dreamplug/uImage Marvell>> tftpboot 0x01100000 dreamplug/uInitrd Marvell>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 base-installer/initramfs-tools/driver-policy=most Marvell>> bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000 Then I selected all the defaults apart from using a local apt proxy and my passwords. I didn't see the problem you saw and the installation completed ok, through to rebooting into the new installation.. Did you select any non-default options as you went through the installer? When it hangs do you get a cancel or go back button which would allow you to access the installer syslog? Perhaps if you force a reboot at this point and boot in rescue mode (add "rescue/enable=true" to the bootargs) then you can access the target rootfs and find the instller logs in /var/log/installer? Are you installing to internal or external MMC? It shouldn't matter (if your kernel is booting you don't have the buggy one), but which u-boot do you have? Mine reports: U-Boot 2012.04.01 (Jun 01 2012 - 02:17:08) > I also tried to take > daily debian-installer images but at this point, the ethernet hardware > of the DreamPlug wasn't recognized, so there was no way for me to > proceed with the installation. Oh dear, which daily image did you use? Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
