Debian does not boot on Pogoplug V4-A3-02 (1 reply)

Hello,

I am trying to install Debian on Pogoplug V4-A3-02.
I installed 2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood According to this thread.
U-Boot started OK, I can operate it using NetConsole.
I tried to install Debian kernel+rootfs using this thread.
I used Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2.
I am booting from MMC since specific device does not have USB2 connector and SATA connectors. I tried to use USB3 ports for booting, but it didn't worked at all.

Please see log below (kernel fails to start). Also I don't know how to boot original Linux from MTD using new u-Boot (is it possible?).
I never saw this unit working, just bought it on eBay. Original pogoplug service is down, so I am planning to connect my big UDB3 disk to it and use it as NAS.
