Hi Bodhi, I committed the mtdparts to fw_env. Thanks for all the help. As a last request can you shed some light on what that line actually does? I reckon it has something to do with the boot sequence read from the NAND memory?by LostFile - Debian
Thanks again for all the help and time. The requested outputs are listed below after setting the mtdparts. `dmesg` root@debian:~# dmesg [ 0.000000] Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0 [ 0.000000] Linux version 5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1 (root@tldDebian) (gcc (Debian 8.3.0-6) 8.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.31.1) #1.0 PREEMPT Sat Jul 31 22:10:39 PDT 2021 [ 0.000000] CPU: Fby LostFile - Debian

Just to clarify, this is all the info I see using my FTDI connection. Your prior comment seems to indicate that I should see more. I still have the original config settings prior to flashing uboot 2017. I can post these too if needed.by LostFile - Debian
Hi Bohdi, I have attached the boot sequence by using your proposed method 1). I have omitted the kernel boot as this goes correctly now and the info on mdparts is in the inital part. I have not changed the mdparts per instruction on uboot particular for the zyxal nsa325(v2), was this wrong?

Actually I think the transfer borked some files. I am in debian now. Thanks for the help! edit: do i need to use uEnv.txt to correct the wrong dbs file or can i reflash the nand?by LostFile - Debian
In the serial output the kernel seems to panic at [ 8.827919][ T1] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) ]---by LostFile - Debian
Thanks for the super quick reply! Aha that seems very embarrassing that I seem to have missed that line. However, with the correct dts file it is still not loading into debian. Is there a way to boot verbosely?

Hi, I am trying to install the latest debian build on the Zyxel NS325v2 using the instructions on this website, however the boot seems to be stuck on launching kernel. I have access to serial.
