Hello,
I have been trying for the last 3 days to make my A13 - wifi boot Debian the way it is described here:
https://www.olimex.com/wiki/Prebuilt_SD_card_images_running_debian#Debian_with_GUI_.28X.29
Still can't make it work. I have tried 3 different MicroSD cards, namely 2Gb, 4Gb(class 10), 8Gb(class 10).
I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
I would be grateful if someone with similar experience could help.
Thank you in advance.
Below I attach the messages I get through minicom:

It sound very much that the image you write to the SD card is corrupted, are you able to access and mount the card on Ubuntu after writing the image to it ?
Hello and thanks for taking time to answer.
Yes as soon as I connect the SD on Ubuntu 14, through USB adapter or MicroSD to SD adapter, system mounts 2 partitions. One of about 17Mb including 2 files and another of 4Gb including system file structure.

2 partitions. One of about 17Mb including 2 files and another of 4Gb including system file structure.
still on Ubuntu what if you cd to the first partition (17Mb) and do
file uImageand post the result here, to check if the kernel file is damaged or not
Hello,
Here is the result of uImage command:
uImage: u-boot legacy uImage, Linux-3.4.90+, Linux/ARM, OS Kernel Image (Not compressed), 4340720 bytes, Thu Jun 19 09:52:03 2014, Load Address: 0x40008000, Entry Point: 0x40008000, Header CRC: 0xC1E3A888, Data CRC: 0x0514DCFD
I attach a screenshot to give you an image of my desktop.
Thanks again for the help!

I managed to find an image that works on my A13.
Just for the record, this is it:
