I think it was able to mount the root fs. From what I recall, it did say mounted ext4 file system on /dev/mmcblk0p2. Also, from what I seem to recall, when I ran e2fsck on that partition on my pc, the fs wasn't unmounted cleanly. So, I'm 95% sure the kernel was able to mount the root fs. > I just wanted to mention a working method to run 'debootstrap > --second-stage': Start your kernel with an interactive shell as init > and then invoke 'debootstrap --second-stage'; then you can probably > set the root password etc... Ok. So the most likely cause of the problem I think was that I didn't have agetty running on ttyAMA0. Thanks for confirming that all it takes to do second stage is in fact a kernel which matches the arch.
