Can't boot Debian, Arch boots fine (SATA) (no replies)

Hey all,

I got a pink pogoplug (b04 I guess) with a bricked nand and was wondering if I can boot Debian from SATA like I do with Arch? I tried replacing the rootfs on the hdd but this didn't do the trick.
The reason why I want to switch to Debian is that I need a newer Kernel for the STK1160 driver.
The Pogoplug boots from SATA exclusively and netconsole isn't working either...
Help would be appreciated, thank you :)
