Open a serial connection to the OpenRD: screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Poweron the OpenRD and press any key to interrupt u-boot.
Do 'printenv' to see the bootcommands used, and copy/paste them to the
u-boot prompt (and adjust them) to boot a known good kernel.
To list your kernels (from u-boot prompt):
mmcinit
ext2ls mmc 0 /
Then it should be something like:
ext2load mmc 0 0x0800000 /uInitrd;
ext2load mmc 0 0x400000 /uImage
bootm 0x400000 0x0800000
