Hi, System is running excellent. Updated to 4.18 and upgraded to Stretch, plus now running the rootfs off one of the mirror drives. Now the the newer kernel is working (now booting 4.18 without issues), I'd like to write 4.18 to MTD and boot from there. As the old uboot doesn't allow writing from Linux can anyone suggest the commands to write uImage and uInitrd to MTD and bootby jdwl101 - Debian

Hi All, This is a long thread on running Debian on the IX2-DL, which also applies to IX2-NG and any other boxes that cannot update u-boot due to kwboot not working (box has no UART0, serial is on UART1). Feel free to read through the steps Bodhi took me through to get it all running, or skip to the last post for the instructions.

Hi bodhi, Could you please expand on why flashing uImage and uInitrd is not recommended? I'm currently booting my ix2-dl from usb (rootfs and /boot) but would like to free up the usb port for backups. Unfortunately, my sata drives are completely used as a linear mdadm array, I have a partition on the array I can host the rootfs on and was thinking of flashing the boot images to NANby jdwl101 - Debian
