(WIP) Booting Debian rootfs from latest Arch U-Boot (4 replies)

Note: this is still a Work-In-Progress (WIP) thread.

I would recommend flashing my new U-Boot build here, so that I can give full support when problem arises. However, to make the transition extremely simple for users who wish to use Debian, but they have already installed the latest Arch U-Boot, here is the instruction:

Assuming you have downloaded and created the latest rootfs from this thread. Note that the rootfs should be untouched after extracting (we are booting with separated DTB using step 4a).

Download the attached file uEnv_arch_uboot_boot_debian.txt and copy to the /boot folder of your Debian rootfs (assuming this rootfs is mounted at /media/sdb1 on a Linux box):

cp -a uEnv_arch_uboot_boot_debian.txt /media/sdb1/boot/uEnv.txt
sync

Umount this rootfs, and take it to your Kirkwood plug and boot with it.

Please post any problem using this. I don't have Arch u-boot installed so this file has not been tested!
