Beaglebone stalls on boot

[cmac86]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Arch going on my Beaglebone. I've formatted my sdcard with the vfat boot partion and ext3 rootfs partion. Using the usb serial console I can see the bootsequence. It seems odd because uBoot sequence repeats about 4 or 5 times before it can actually uncompress linux and boot the kernel. After this happens it continues the boot sequence and then stalls:

This is the point where it stalls. Has anyone experienced this before?

Thanks for any help,
