I'm having trouble booting on a Beaglebone Black. I have a FAT32 partition which works fine with my home-built u-boot.img. When I use the u-boot.img from http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/cgi-bin/dl.cgi/v3.3/releases/armhf/alpine-uboot-3.3.3-armhf.tar.gz and the beaglebone black repeatedly outputs the 'C' character to say that it is awaiting for a card to be inserted.

Does anyone have any clues as to why that is?

Oops, the initial problem was not setting the fat32 partition for bootable. Now it appears to try and boot, but there's no serial console output. The extlinux/extlinux.conf file looks like:

PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Apline/Linux Boot Menu
SERIAL 0 115200
TIMEOUT 100
LABEL grsec
MENU DEFAULT
MENU LABEL Linux grsec
LINUX /boot/vmlinuz-grsec
INITRD /boot/initramfs-grsec
DEVICETREEDIR /boot/dtbs
APPEND BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-grsec modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod,usb-storage modloop=/boot/modloop-grsec console=ttyO0,115200
