Gabriel, It's in the Wiki thread https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,23630 Quote Kirkwood plugs Basic steps to install Debian and new u-boot on Kirkwood boxes Boot Kirkwood rootfs with stock u-boot Since we don't have new u-boot for this box, the box must be booted with stock u-boot. If OpenWrt has new u-boot, and you have installed it, still treat it as stock u-boot.

Re: Factory restore Dockstar - Help needed - 4 weeks ago

There are 4 possible unbrick steps (1 is easiest). 1. Take your USB rootfs to another Linux and run e2fsck to check for errors and fix it. Bring it back to the dockstar and try booting it. 2. If you remmember what u-boot was installed, and what Debian rootfs is on the USB, (or what procedure you used to install), then we could try booting a rootfs that matches what this u-boot expects. 3
