After trying to get a USB to serial converter working under the original firmware. I've managed to f*ck up the kernel and not getting it to boot at all.
After follwing Peacemakers instructions I've managed to install debian on the KD20.
The problems i ran into during the install where:
The connection on the logicboard of the KD20 is pretty hard to solder (the copper around the hole didn't take the tin very well had to re-solder it 2 times :( ) Also the UART connection baudrate is nowhere descripted (but it's 115200 - got it from a picture of crosser's google+ page)
I've first setup with a rootfs disk in the right bay, but at first I had permission issues that causes the drive to be mounted read-only.
So I chown -R nobody the crap out of it. And finally it booted. But I wanted too put the original drive back into it (the one I already used with the original shuttle firmware) so had the same issue with a 8GB pen drive.
Now it boots from the pen drive but when it's getting into the debian the LED on the front is off as well as all other lighting or beeping.
I will post a full boot log later today, maybe I still have something not setup correctly.
Thanks to all the people ho made this possible and a special thanks to Peacemaker for the instructions and Crosser for the disassemble pictures and finding the UART
