I just got a Model B which I intend to use headless only, via ssh (it's the only way I can use it for now either).
I followed this steps to "burn" Rasbian (downloaded from the official website) to a 8GB SD card.
sha1sum on the .zip matched the hash provided on the website.
I set up DHCP on my router and made sure it was working and listing the computers properly.
I inserted the SD card to the Raspberry, connected it to an Ethernet cable going through my router and then to the adequate power supply. A red led lighted up (the only one). I waited for 20 minutes and nothing popped up on the router's webpage showing the DHCP client list (which I refreshed, of course).
Files on the SD card and some info after my boot atempt:

dmesg (from /media/fc.../var/log/dmesg)
(Nothing has been logged yet.)
So... How should I proceed in order to debug this? Since dmesg is empty I assume there was some read error, hardware error, or something really simple I'm missing out...
