I now have almost a cookbook to build Redsleeve boot SDdisk for my

When you say no login, you mean you get boot output on the screen but no
login prompt? If so, hit Alt-F2.
For debugging purposes getty doesn't run on the first terminal because
it clears the screen when it starts.
I struggled with the fstab. First I had to find out the UUIDs of swap
and rootfs, then fsck yelled about the date, as the Cubieboard2 does
not have a RTC, so it boots up at long ago. Here is the important part
of my fstab:
UUID=98dae9d0-e1e4-494b-8502-be8c7aad615f / ext4
defaults,noatime 0 0
UUID=4ec1423a-34a5-4263-b44d-7c2172de982d swap swap
defaults,noatime 0 0
Note the change of the <pass> option to ZERO to get past the check. I
build a swap partition, eventhough the original fstab did not list a
swap. Is swap disabled elsewhere in this setup?
Shouldn't be. If you have a swap partition and you specify it in fstab
it should get used.

Editing fstab is the only step that takes some effort. Everything else
is close to cutandpaste from my cookbook.
So on to the no monitor login and no response when I do type on the
keyboard (my typing is echoed onto the monitor).
All suggestions accepted!
Hit Alt-F2 and then try. :)
