I have previously successfully installed lenny on a Linkysys NSLU2. I have now tried three times in the past day or so to install on a new NSLU2 and have consistently failed and always at the same point. The installion appears to work flawlessly right up to the point at the end where it writes the new kernel to flash and attempts to reboot into the new system. The installer reports that the reflash worked but upon booting, the device appears to be stuck in the redboot phase and fails to find initramfs (symptoms as described in the troubleshooting wiki "The slug hangs during reboot (stuck on orange LED, no HD activity.)" My device config is exactly the same as my earlier succcesful install (NSLU2 with 500 GB Lacie USB drive attached). Just to check that there is no hardware fault I have sucessfully reflashed with both the Linksys original image and a SlugOS image. But I'd really prefer a Debian install. Is there a known problem with a recent change? I note that Lenny seems to have been updated on 23 April. Is it worth me going back to using Martin Michlmayr's manual tarball install approach? Many thanks Mick
