Problem running Archlinux ARM on Beaglebone

[northbear]

Hello...

I'm using Beaglebone rev.6 board.
I've met problems to run on this board a latest (on 22-07-2013) Archlinux ARM taken at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/ti/beaglebone. Nothing happens on boot. Power LED is on only after connecting usb-cable. Other leds never lights at all...
Angstrom linux distro supplied with BB on sd-card works well.

It looks the problem is in bootloader installation. Exctracting it on fat partition by tar-command with options given in manual cause warning messages about unability to set up a uid and gid of files on FAT filesystem. But all files are extracted well with MLO file first as required. So I have no another idea why it happens...


Thanks in advance...

Re-read the installation instructions, and if you missed the step that said to mark the bootloader FAT as bootable, do that. Otherwise, consider a serial connection to see what the actual issue is.

Hm... It may be the reason. I should notice missing of this step... Thanks...
By the way, what is default console settings of beaglebone? I met some amount of bricks or 'C' char printed to console on boot. It depend on serial speed set by apropriate picocom option.
