No, it was a couple of times:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/06/msg00094.html
Which u-boot versions and with which specific kernel versions
have you tried?
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/06/msg00118.html
And which kernels have you used, exact download URLs would be
handy.

That could mean any of several different things from several different
places (netboot, netboot-gtk, netboot-console d-i images, perhaps the
daily builds etc), for all I knew you might have been downloading e.g.
the orion5x kernel images (which would have exactly the symptoms you
describe).
So, to avoid ambiguity it helps to be precise. (For example I'm still
not entirely sure which u-boot versions you have tried)

If that's your attitude then I'm not going to bother.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/06/msg00093.html reads to me as
"this doesn't work for me, please help". Was it intended as something
else? Do you not want to install Debian on your dreamplug?
