Just for the record, I bought an external USB hard drive cage. To make sure the serial console was handy I had left the serial cable attached to the frontal serial connector, and rolled if on it's side. I was facing some errors in the form of: [ 2737.940000] ehci_irq: port change detect [ 2737.940000] hub 2-0:1.0: port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

Well, I have done some progress.. According to http://ibot.rikers.org/%23arm-netbook/20120716.html.gz it seems the script.fec was to blame. I booted the original android OS, and retrieved the original script.bin at Android: mkdir /a mount -ovfat /dev/manda /a at /a you will see the script.bin retreive it and copy to the fat partition on SD. Now it says: at Debian: [ 4.570000] enter sby sjmuniz - Allwinner A10
Hello, I notice that there are some modules missing from the build I installed. Specially those related to spdif, the optic fiber output.

I think the problem is that at boot time the OS is not loading the correct modules. So I started again from my first love, Debian, using debiby sjmuniz - Allwinner A10

@Jeff, I still don't know where the recovery button is. Will check that. @jas-hacks Thanks for that page! Will read on about it. However, the insight on the ssh hosts keys is a very good hint. Will check that.by sjmuniz - Allwinner A10
I am sorry, didn; t know a pic would be of help. I am attaching it. 5) I don't see any new log at /var/log/ I have files from Dec 31 2009 and Jul 24 2012. Now that I think of it that Dec 31th looks suspicious, specially since this device has no battery. Indeed, some log files were updated. Will check those logs. 6) USB power worked and keyboard caps lock too. So, I think it didby sjmuniz - Allwinner A10
