Installing Linux on Zedboard

Hi, does anybody know if there are any instructions on how to install and boot a Linux distribution (other than Xillinux) such as Debian on the Zedboard?

Thanks

Yes, I'm running Linaro 12.10 on my zedboard... Walkthrough is available at
http://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-drivers/platforms/zynq
Version, you could choose any (desktop, nano, alip, development), all work... I'm running alip which gave me apt-get-instruction and ethernet out of the "box". APT-get will download armhf-compiled files. I think the tutorial should be "the same" for debian, just edit the rootFS-download to an ARM-release of Debian

Hi regarding to the different distribution i tried severeal nano-dis of linaro and mostly receive the following error (this is linaro 14.12 nano - http://releases.linaro.org/14.12/ubuntu/utopic-images/nano)

#0: HDMI monitor
#1: ZED ADAU1761

Starting init: /etc/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -13)
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -8)

Do you have any idea what goes wrong? why is there a kernel panic?

thanks and regard
