To dear moderators: I would vote for merging this thread to the Arch Linux ARM thread even though it actually deals with U-Boot/BootMenu in general. Or just leave it as is.

You need to show us your /etc/bootmenu.d/21-arch.item BootMenu configuration file and tell us if your Arch is on a µSD card (most probably it is) and which partition.

Here’s my conf that boots (I installed from scratch yesterday). The kernel /boot/uImage is nowhere but the first partition of my µSD.

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Arch Linux ARM"
ITEM_KERNEL="/boot/uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext4"
ITEM_OMAPTAG="1"
ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M"

Edit:
If you were indeed using a correct BootMenu config, isn’t it by any chance possible that you forgot to actually install the kernel? If we are lucky and everything else works properly (what is your U-Boot version? – It is shown for a while at bootup; mine is 2013.04 from Apr 20 2013.), it should be that either the config is not written properly or that the kernel is not in place.

Before we can boot to the fresh system, we need to do some trivial work in chroot.
See Chroot.

Update and configure system

Choose local mirror for pacman

Add my repository to /etc/pacman.conf
Code:
[n900-base]
SigLevel = Never
Include = /etc/pacman.d/alarm-n900

[n900-extra]
SigLevel = Never
Include = /etc/pacman.d/alarm-n900
Code:
echo "Server = http://alarm-n900.org/\$repo" > /etc/pacman.d/alarm-n900
Install packages necessary to boot, and upgrade your system:
Code:
pacman -Syu linux-omap-n900 linux-headers-omap-n900 n900-firmware n900-integration

Yeah, and what happened to your existing installation? I thought you were up and running since you were interested in setting up your touchscreen already :-)

The rootfs I used (and then manually upgraded) was 2013.02, I totally forgot about this one :-/
