Looking for assistance, with light experience toying with RPis, debian distros, etc.
Ive done a lot of reading and some attempts trying to boot via USB with kirkwood 5.9 rootfs with no luck. From memory, I think it bricked during an upgrade attempt.
Sounds like I need to deal with UBoot and not really sure of the direction to take.
Red light is all Im getting.
Thoughts, directions, links?

I think this is the thread you should read. If you have serial console, it should be easy.

This thread should be helpful as well

Thanks david,
Yeah I've been studying those two among others.
I only have ethernet connection currently and have attempted USB boot with debian and the Lenovo foss lifeline, with no luck.
I have to assume that my confusion might be my need for a serial connection and boot corruption.
Serial my best root to success or is there a technique that I can try in the meantime?

Serial console is the easiest way to get it boot to Debian. Witthout it, we cannot see what's going on (especially if u-boot envs were corrupted).
