Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM"
ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait init=/bin/systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"

(of course ITEM_CMDLINE is one line, not splitted like in here)
For internal memory, I would have something similar to:

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM"
ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk1p3 rootwait init=/bin/systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M quiet"

And for sure those configs were mentioned many times in this thread and other tutorials.

Thanks! I finally got it working using your config and ext4

Another questions, are there newer kernels than 3.5.7 available and are there instructions on how to build the kernel somewhere? I'm trying to build an external kernel module that works with Linux 3.6 and newer.

guys, also remember to fix the init= option to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd before doing pacman -Syu or you'll not be booting.

Is not it solved in the way Skry mentioned?

Or what do you exactly mean by a broken system?
