I'll report back.
Except u-boot (which was coming from buildroot), I already succeeded
once in installing Debian on my neo2. It's quite unstable and doesn't
uptime more than 48h. I'm reinstalling because of seriously breakage
of the rootfs as result of all these oopses.

I'd like to prepare a patch for that script, it complains it cannot use
a GPT but it's wrong if the GPT is configured for having max 4 partitions
(as my hand-made Debian installation had). see
