Hello folks,
I have been trying to get the debian-installer to load up on this
Edgerouter Lite since the past 4 days with little no success.
i had a er8xg. and failed to boot d-i also.
The kernel boots fine, however it will kernel panic soon after as it
fails to detect the initrd.gz.
debian has some machines with cavium cpu, while none of them are from ubnt.
I am unable to find a suitable memory address to where upload the
initrd.gz to, and quite frankly I don't know much about u-boot to be
able to figure it out on my own, although I tried.
some here. i think that it is the problem of ubnt's uboot.
it seems doesn't support initramfs at all.
The following website shows how to load kernel and initrd.gz and pass
the argument to the boot command on a similar edgerouter, however the
memory address happens to be different, and it doesn't explain how it is
found.

I am wondering if any of you has had any success in installing debian on
this router, and perhaps could share some knowledge as to the
installation process.
ohhh,maybe we can get some info from this link and the code of uboot.
I am happy to provide any logs etc if needed.
Thanks,
Pietro
