Hello, I am familiar with Debian, but a bit inexperienced on debian ARM ... I got a Open-RD Client (the one with the nice aluminium box) for chrismas and I was able to install debian on the Open-Rd + E-Sata disk connected to it but now I am unable to boot into this debian installation.
>From the email referenced at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10262.html, I went through the installation succesfully up to the reboot into your new Debian Machine ( Remove the CD :-) I have the hard disk partionned with Partition 1 = /boot, Partition 2 = swap, Partition 3 = LVM (same thing I would have done on a regular PC ...) when I try to boot from U-boot, I get the following : __ __ _ _ | \/ | __ _ _ ____ _____| | | | |\/| |/ _` | '__\ \ / / _ \ | | | | | | (_| | | \ V / __/ | | |_| |_|\__,_|_| \_/ \___|_|_| _ _ ____ _ | | | | | __ ) ___ ___ | |_ | | | |___| _ \ / _ \ / _ \| __| | |_| |___| |_) | (_) | (_) | |_ \___/ |____/ \___/ \___/ \__| ** MARVELL BOARD: OpenRD-Client LE U-Boot 1.1.4 (Oct 27 2009 - 21:57:24) Marvell version: 3.4.19 U-Boot code: 00600000 -> 0067FFF0 BSS: -> 006CFB00 Soc: 88F6281 A0 (DDR2) CPU running @ 1200Mhz L2 running @ 400Mhz SysClock = 400Mhz , TClock = 200Mhz DRAM CAS Latency = 5 tRP = 5 tRAS = 18 tRCD=6 DRAM CS[0] base 0x00000000 size 256MB DRAM CS[1] base 0x10000000 size 256MB DRAM Total size 512MB 16bit width Addresses 8M - 0M are saved for the U-Boot usage.

I am probably missing something simple ... I tried to set the bootargs to bootargs= 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mapper/SATA-root' with the same result ... It seems I am missing the link to the initrd. Can you help me out ? or explain how this machine is supposed to boot into debian, ? Regards and Happy New Year ...
