Hello,

just to make sure I understand you correctly: the installer
itself worked without problems, but the installed system doesn't
come up?  If yes, then this might be due to a problem with the
console device setting.  The installer uses a different
bootscript than the final system:

- installer:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debian-installer.git/tree/build/boot/arm/bootscr.mainline_common
  (which explicitly passes a console parameter)

- flash-kernel / final system:
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/flash-kernel.git/tree/bootscript/bootscr.cubox-i
  (which in contrast to e.g. the sunxi bootscript does not
  explicitly pass console)

Could you please try to interrupt the u-boot autoboot process by
pressing a key when u-boot prints the "Hit any key to stop autoboot"
message and then issue the following command at the u-boot prompt:

setenv bootargs "console=ttymxc0,115200"; run bootcmd

If this results in a working system, you can make this setting
permanent by running

setenv bootargs "console=ttymxc0,115200"; saveenv

at the u-boot prompt. Please report back whether this solves
the issue for you

HTH,
Karsten
