Hi Mark, did you run any other distribution before ? AND did you use rpi-update to enable 512M of RAM ? I didn't and on my PI I can recreate that after flushing the PI to 512 stock Images will not boot anymore (same behavior, only RedLED nothing else) Luckily I had an dd image of the Fedora one which I was running to test and flush, I copied the '/boot' partition files to the RedSleeve 0.3 Image and everything started working. If you need those boot files let me know, I can provide the 3.2.27 kernel boot files (and modules for RSEL6) I also worked out to get RedSleeve 0.3 working under QEMU-ARM with kernel 3.2.27 (same for my PI) and started building an Koji Builder Farm to rebuild the EPEL (6) packages ... or at least starting with the most useful (from my point of view) ones :) so far already completed (both architectures armv6l and armv5tel) ncdu-1.8-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm bwm-ng-0.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm mimedefang-2.73-1.el6.armv6l.rpm mimedefang-contrib-2.73-1.armv6l.rpm vanessa_socket-pipe-0.0.10-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm vanessa_socket-devel-0.0.10-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm vanessa_socket-0.0.10-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-bdb-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-postgresql-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-mysql-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-odbc-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-ldap-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm perdition-1.18-1.armv5tel.armv6l.rpm bacula-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-postgresql-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-sqlite-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-mysql-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-client-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-director-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-console-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm bacula-storage-5.2.12-1.el6.armv6l.rpm vanessa_logger-sample-0.0.10-1.el6.armv6l.rpm vanessa_logger-devel-0.0.10-1.el6.armv6l.rpm vanessa_logger-0.0.10-1.el6.armv6l.rpm pkcs11-helper-1.07-5.el6.armv6l.rpm pkcs11-helper-devel-1.07-5.el6.armv6l.rpm vanessa_adt-0.0.9-1.el6.armv6l.rpm vanessa_adt-devel-0.0.9-1.el6.armv6l.rpm openvpn-2.2.2-1.el6.armv6l.rpm perl-Unix-Syslog-1.1-3.el6.armv6l.rpm sslh-1.14-2.el6.armv6l.rpm clamav-devel-0.97.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm clamav-milter-0.97.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm clamav-0.97.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm clamav-db-0.97.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm clamd-0.97.6-1.el6.armv6l.rpm pycdio-0.15-4.el6.armv6l.rpm vpnc-consoleuser-0.5.3-4.el6.armv6l.rpm vpnc-0.5.3-4.el6.armv6l.rpm mod_security-2.7.1-3.el6.armv6l.rpm mlogc-2.7.1-3.el6.armv6l.rpm iftop-1.0-0.1.pre2.el6.armv6l.rpm keepalived-1.2.7-1.el6.armv6l.rpm gparted-0.6.0-1.el6.armv6l.rpm imlib2-1.4.2-5.el6.armv6l.rpm imlib2-devel-1.4.2-5.el6.armv6l.rpm imlib2-id3tag-loader-1.4.2-5.el6.armv6l.rpm libnet-devel-1.1.5-1.el6.armv6l.rpm libnet-1.1.5-1.el6.armv6l.rpm heartbeat-libs-3.0.4-1.el6.armv6l.rpm heartbeat-devel-3.0.4-1.el6.armv6l.rpm heartbeat-3.0.4-1.el6.armv6l.rpm fluxbox-1.1.1-5.el6.armv6l.rpm /
