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.

The kernel boots fine, however it will kernel panic soon after as it 
fails to detect the initrd.gz.

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.

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.

I am happy to provide any logs etc if needed.

Thanks,

Pietro
