<div dir="ltr">I had a very similar issue with my Pi last December. I can't recall exactly what I did to fix it but I'm thinking it may have been something as simple as I messed up the dd when transferring the initial image to the SD card. I think after reading about what the lights on the PI mean during boot I ended up starting from scratch and got it right the 2nd time.<div>

I bought a Raspberry Pi, finally.<br>
<br>
I intend to use this headless, so the Fedora Remix and the Raspbian<br>
distributions both seem like more than I need. A good old fashioned<br>
minimal install of Debian should suffice.<br>
<br>
>From the <a href="http://elinux.org/RPi_Distributions" target="_blank">http://elinux.org/RPi_Distributions</a> page, I downloaded the<br>
following image:<br>
<a href="http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/debian/6/debian6-19-04-2012/debian6-19-04-2012.zip" target="_blank">http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/debian/6/debian6-19-04-2012/debian6-19-04-2012.zip</a><br>
<br>
I flashed the image onto two different SD cards: one 4GB class 4<br>
device, and one 8GB class 10 device.<br>
<br>
When inserting either card into the Pi and applying power, nothing<br>
happened. The red power LED illuminates, but the green SD card access<br>
light never lights up.<br>
<br>
I flashed the official Raspbian image<br>
(<a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads" target="_blank">http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads</a>) onto the 4GB card, and the Pi<br>
boots. The green SD card access LED illuminates, the NIC lights flash,<br>
and I can access the device over the network.<br>
<br>
I'd really rather stick with stock Debain, rather than Raspbian, if at<br>
all possible. Is there a better Debian image I should be trying,<br>
perhaps?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Scott<br>
