We don't support yet the use of the 'ok' led as the usage indicator for SD card, so it's ok if you only see a short blink there (it's the kernel being loaded and after that it will not work anymore). It take a while to fully boot the RPi, but after the kernel starts you should see the kernel output on HDMI or composite video. The serial works as console. You can get a more verbose output of the boot process there. Luiz
