Ok, installed with script.

* ubuntu preinstalled image
* custom kernel
* local firmware
* dist-upgrade

I often had to "exit" because packages didn't install.
Code:
Something went wrong while installing man-db, see the errors above, ensure that dpkg isn't broken with commands 'apt-get install -f' and 'dpkg --configure -a' and type exit or Ctrl+D to continue.
those packages:
Code:
 resolvconf
 cups
 linux-image-3.2.0-26-omap
 acpid
 linux-image-omap
 linux-omap
 printer-driver-gutenprint
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
There was also one qemu segfault nr. 11, and some problem because of missing fstab entry.

After that it didn't boot because it couldn't load ramdisk, so I deleted uinitrd.img from FAT.

I manualy created a boot.scr without uinitrd entry but got a Kernel Panic on next boot:
Code:
setenv atagaddr $init_atagaddr
setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x82000000 uImage; bootm 0x82000000'
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootwait console=tty0 omapfb.vram=0:2M,1:2M,2:2M mtdoops.mtddev=2 nosplash elevator=noop'
boot
Then I removed the atag entry, and it booted.

This works for me:
Code:
setenv bootcmd 'mmc init; fatload mmc 0:1 0x82000000 uImage; bootm 0x82000000'
setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 rootwait console=tty0 omapfb.vram=0:2M,1:2M,2:2M mtdoops.mtddev=2 nosplash elevator=noop'
boot
(btw. I still use bootpr13)

Actually I also chose lubuntu-desktop but it wasn't avaible at login. I probably should have enabled universe in apt-source? ... well, next time.
