Debian Eabi With Installer

[bdbell]

I tried to install several times - was successful, but when I rebooted each time I got a Kernel Panic?  So I decided to give the U-Boot - 2.6.23.1 - EABI method a try.  I was successful in getting that up and running, but too many little bugs compared to the TichyLinux system.  Debating what to do next.  I did notice that if I do not press 2 on reboot with U-boot I get a similar Kernel Panic error - is that the mistake I made with Cortez-Debian?  Do you need to press 2 on boot?

Uboot is a multiple boot system :
- pressing nothing : boot from flash
- pressing 1 : boot from SD
- pressing 2 : boot from microdrive
- pressing 3 : boot from CF
- pressing OK : install new kernel and/or system on flash

So,
Pressing "2" boots from microdrive, pressing "1" boots from SD which can contain Titchy. You don't have to choose, you can have both !

Thanks Chero

But I guess I was not clear - I do understand how U-boot works, but what I was asking was is it also necessary to Press 2 to boot from hard drive with Cortez-Debian?  I ask this because I got the same error trying to boot Cortez-Debian as I did when I forgot to press 2 booting with Uboot.  I know cortez's version did not use uboot - so it is unlikely, but....

Since you've been using uboot and don't any longer :did you do a nand-restore before installing "cortez-debian" ?
If not, it's not likely that it will work ...
