Installing Debian on IOmega HMNDCE

Hi,
I am trying to install debian on IOmega HMNDCE (almost 12 year old) single disk NAS server.

I am able to follow the writeup at https://github.com/olderzeus/Iomega-HMNHDCE and install debian. But I am not able to upgrade it. I raised an issue in git and olderzeus was helpful and replied back to pointing it to this forum and steps to upgrade it. Unfortunately, I lost the HDD on the NAS and could not try it.

I got a new disk now and trying to run the commands mentioned by olderzeus, it is resulting in the below logs.

Please let me know what am doing wrong.

I have installed debian as mentioned in the above git link and was successfully boot the system. When I replace the rootfs, uImage and dtb files it does not boot up. (https://github.com/olderzeus/Iomega-HMNHDCE/issues/3)

The kernel stored on disk is still stock kernel Linux-2.6.31.14, not a new kernel.
