Let me know if you have any ideas I will try them. I am no guru but follow instructions well. Does that mondo ftdi chip on the beaglebone need initialized or is it stand-alone... looks more complicated than normal. One strange thing with my rootfs is without a USB connected to the console and driver loaded on the host, it doesn't boot at all. Seems like hardware handshake needed or it gets stuck? Probably my bad.
The arch kernel boot output is non-existent to console (command line?):

This is the Angstrom+Arch boot if that is worth anything:
