Hallo all,
I am new to ARM and this forum, so please redirect this post, if there is better suited sub-forum.

I tried to install the ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz image, but could not boot into the system. The catch with the hardware is, that it lacks a VGA output. So I can get my hands on the device only if the network interface and the ssh deamon is up. There is a LED indicating different system states, but I am not sure if I can trust the LED once I moved away from the kernel provided with the device.
I have a lot of other information, e.g. a list of kernel modules which are loaded while the original Debian is running.
My question here is if you think that there is any change to get an Arch on this device, and if so what the first steps are to figure out how. I have a good working knowlegde of Linux etc. but I have never tried to get in onto a unsupported platform.
Best,
Wolfgang
