I just received my black eSata Multiboot Sheevaplug which I ordered with an 8Gb SD card preinstalled with Ubuntu jaunty. After it dawned on me that jaunty support has ended, I now want to reflash the SD card (not the nand) with a squeeze image.
I found
the NewIT disk images (assuming the eSata ones are also for multiboot plugs), but I'm unsure of which to pick. It's not apparent anywhere, and the only mention I could find on these forums were regarding to SD card sizes. The provided SD card was not a Transcend nor an Ultima, but an Integral. On a hunch I picked the "ultima-8G-NewIT-v1.2-debian-squeeze-eSATA" image. No problems encountered when dd'ing it onto the card.
But when I try to boot it, it doesn't go past loading the kernel.

The Ubuntu jaunty installation that came prepared onto the card had the
2.6.36 kernel, and as listed in that output the one on the image is
2.6.32. Are the images available from the NewIT page outdated? Did I pick the wrong one?
Alternatively; my nand partition (which seems to be running squeeze and 2.6.36) still works. Can I just clone it onto the SD card?
Mounting the rootfs partition on my normal machine, the contents look fine.
