It looks like the uImage was not burned to nand flash, can you post the installer/console print ?
Describe host PC hw/OS and setup more so we can help you

I am not sure whether it is related, but I had the same error message after trying to put the rootfs on the SD card.

My thread is here.

The long and the short of it was, I re-flashed using the Sheevaplug Installer, and all was fine again.

I believe that means it cannot find the serial device - so nothing has been written to the device.

Not totally sure, but I would start by ensuring that you can connect to the plug via the mini-USB connector. Then, close up PuTTy and then try running the installer again.

Maybe someone more experienced will come along soon and be able to give more specific instructions!
