Hi Fabio,

The Debian OS on your SD card now has to be told to output to a console.  Edit 
the
/etc/inittab and uncomment either the AM0 or AM1 line, depending on which port 
you
want it to output the console. BTW, if you want Debian to output to COM2 you 
will need to
have the appropriate jumpers set.

I hope this helps.  I am trying to boot from SD card as well but I need to do 
it a little
different than you.  For instance, I already have a Debian build on a CF card, 
I just copied
the contents of the CF card to the SD card.  I am struggling with setting up the
appropriate values in the parameters to the "exec" command under Redboot.  For
instance:

  1.) Load an initial ramdisk from flash.
     fis load initrd
  2.) Load a kernel from flash.
     fis load vmlinux
  3.) Execute a kernel
     exec -r 0x00600000 -s ramdisklength -b 0x00218000 -l loadlength -c
"console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc rw"

What values do I use for "-s", "-b", and "-l"???
