Hello everyone, after installing Debian on my box, DNS 323 rev.c1 does not communicate. The LED flickers quickly.

Using a usb-serial cable, I have the following output:

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:

- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)

- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)

- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)

- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

ALERT! /dev/mapper/deb-system does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

It is worth saying that if you install the disk on which the OS was installed, the box freezes with the Kernel Panic error, and does not respond to keystrokes.

From the logs, it became clear to me that the network interface is defined in u-boot, but when loading into busybox, since there are no drivers, I cannot use the uKernel and uRamdisk network file transfer methods that I made for my firmware from AltF, then to flash through dd.

Here is the uboot log

Further, if I restart the box, the old kernel continues to load, nothing changes, apparently I need to somehow flash these files from u-boot, but I don't know where I'm making a mistake. I tried the kernel and disk images from the Dlink and AltF stock firmware

How else can I replace the kernel and memory in my situation?

Which uboot or busybox mode should I try to recover?

Well, At the moment, I managed to find out that for D'LINK 323 rev C when using the kermit method, the loadb k & r commands do not work, giving an erasure error. However, the loadb command loads the image without errors at 0x100000 in order to verify this, you can try the command " md 0x100000 ", the output will show signs of the presence of the Alt F kernel. However, if you use the instruction to flash, you need to flash two files, the kernel and the ramdisk. Kermit suggests loading always in one place - 0x100000, this gave me the idea that if you first load the ramdisk and copy it to the memory area 0x400000 and then copy the kernel again, but already do not touch anything, i.e. the kernel will remain at address 0x100000 and ramdisk 0x400000 and then try to load it with the command "bootm 0x100000 0x400000". Any comments would be welcome.

So. What is:

Dlink DNS323 rev C1 Not working state (box does not boot, power indicator blinks quickly), presumably after installing Debian.

We need a USB-to-serial 3.3 V adapter, we connect it to the connector on the board, the pins go to 1-3.3V 2-TX 3-RX 4-GND, connect power, 3.3V is unnecessary, 2-3-4 is enough.

We prepare two files from the firmware (I used stock firmware 1.08) using the dns323-firmware-tools utility, you can do this on a PC with Ubuntu, it is in the repository), although it is possible to use WSL2 from Windows 10 (I have not tried it) on output we get two files uKernel and uRamdisk.

You can use TeraTerm (Windows) to load into the console, but anyone with the ability to transfer files via the Kermit protocol will do.

We indicate the COM port and the speed 115200, the rest of the values are left by default.

We turn on the connected box to the PC with the TeraTerm program open, and quickly press the spacebar and 1, it will look like this:
