Sorry to sound like a n00b, but I'm more than a little confused where some of these files come from. I have a Pogoplug Mobile running linux-image-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-1 thanks to Qui's and bodhi's help. Do files like Debian-3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 come from the process described at http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ and in particular the http://projects.doozaby ldoolitt - Debian

The light(s) turn green shortly after the "Starting kernel ...". 35 seconds after that, I get the sby ldoolitt - uBoot

Netconsole, yes, and the messages match those quoted by Brainflurry at the beginning of this thread.by ldoolitt - uBoot
My symptoms seem to exactly match Brainflurry's: no network on the final Debian install to a POGO-V4-A1-01 after Starting kernel ... from Netconsole.
