Hi Jochen, What is the release architecture of Debian Squeeze? I believe squeeze is only built for ARMv4 which might be part of the chroot issue. I suspect it might be easier to use the kernel from debian to boot Fedora directly. In theory the 3.8.3+ kernels in Fedora might work with it but I don't think it will because I don't believe everything needed for the device landed in the 3.8 kernel. I'm hoping the 3.9 kernel will have enough to support the marvell mvebu devices and hence we'll be able to support them out of the box for F-19. As the 3.9 kernel comes together you'll see more details on the list on how to test them on F-18.
