Beaglebone with Arch not boot up

[fpnipo]

Hi everyone,
im trying bootup a Arch in Beaglebone... i followed the steps to install from archlinuxarm site(http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/beaglebone).
I created the partitions using Gparted, the first with 128mb, the second with 4gb, and also formatted with the commands:
sudo mkfs.vfat -F 16 -n "bootloader" /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 -L "rootfs" /dev/sdb2
(Using /dev/sdb because is a miniSDCard adapter to SD Card)
I have copied the "/boot/uImage" file from the ext3 partition to the fat16 partition, and boot the beaglebone with the miniSD.

However, even following all these steps, ethernet not comes on.
In my Ubuntu PC(where the beaglebone is connected by miniUSB cable) i can see a "Auto usb0" connection, but could not connect, and accessing my network modem i could not see the beaglebone connected in my network.
I messed up at some point?
It may be that my usb-ethernet connection is in conflict with the ethernet connection?
Exist other way to access the board without ethernet, like a serial terminal? I tried use Minicom to access, but i have not obtained success.

Just for information, i am using a network cable(to ethernet access) and a miniUSB cable(to power up) in my beaglebone.

Thanks in advance,
Felipe Nipo.

I followed the information in this post: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2805&p=16050&hilit=beaglebone+ethernet#p16050

Basically what I changed was...
- Use FDISK to create partitions
- Set the boot flag

The ethernet LED is lighting now, however the beaglebone still not showing up connected in my network modem, so i can not get the IP to access by ssh.

For the first partition, the boot partition, yes you need to make it bootable AND you need to make it a FAT16 (fdisk type 'e'). The second partition, the root partition, can be type linux.

I created a very basic script to create my SD card, which I also used a USB-SD card converter so my device for the SD card was /dev/sdb. Look at the end of this post.

Wow! I got it!
I was creating the FAT 16 partition wrongly... was not using FAT16 LBA(type 'e') how you describe in your script header.
After this change, the ethernet light power up. Now a can see the beaglebone in my network, and i got access by SSH(pass: "root").
calzon65, i am very grateful for your help!

Very thank you,
Felipe Nipo.
