Hi,

I updated the Angstrom Distribution 2013-09-04 image on my BBB. The process 
seem to run well. After it ended, I get the SD card out from the BBB, and 
restarted it, with plugging in again the BBB via USB. But then only the 
power led lits, and nothing else. 
I've repeated the process many times, even with Debian 2014-05-04, but the 
result is the same.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks,
Ben
