Trying to make the boot SD card

[karzzon]

I followed the steps on here for installing the the beagleboard-xm, but when I plug in the created SD card, It does not turn on. No LED indicators by the SD card slot blink like normal either. Does anyone provide a .img I could just dd on to the SD card? If I had that I would be set because I know how to setup arch with a working root.

I have the same problem. Only power led lights. The same board successfully runs Debian. I tried 2 cards (2GB and 4GB).

On rs232 console I sav only number "60".

Did you ever get a archlinux booting on you beagle?

@esio

Use their card, and replace the rootfs partition & uimage with ours? (might want to remove the uInitrd too)

That sounds like a great idea, going to try.

I found a issue with my beaglebone last night. Tried to make a card and it would not boot. Everything was right. I looked at the stock card and found that the 'lba' flag was set on the boot partition. I set it and it worked.

SO i tried just replacing the root fs with the root privided from here. Once I did that, any command that had to do with the sd card would hang until I did ctr-c.

So I am asking. Is there anyone on here with a bootable sd card that they could dd and upload an image to? Atch is my favourite distribution in the desktop world and I would really rather use it over ubuntu on my beagleboard.
