The problem still exists in the new version 1.2.0.
Needs CONFIG_BCM_VCIO
and CONFIG_GPIO_BCM_EXP
available and set in the kernel (see e.g. https://github.com/bamarni/pi64/issues/6); this was added in the 4.11.y branch (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/3bd444137771bce87ca776393a47be213b67a0e7), but the currently shipped kernel with the image is 4.10.y (or 4.9.y) for vc4 accelerated video driver support / stability. Will have a look at booting 4.15 sometime soon though, now 1.2.0 release is out.
It indeed does work with newer kernels.

I have the 4.14.y
in testing atm, and will make this the default kernel for the image shortly. This does have CONFIG_BCM_VCIO
and CONFIG_GPIO_BCM_EXP
defined in bcmrpi3_defconfig
, so the LED should work.
I've unmasked 4.14* now, if you emaint sync --repo rpi
and then update bcmrpi3-kernel-bin
and reboot, you should have a working green LED ^-^
v1.2.1 is out now - supports the RPi3 B+ (as well as B), uses kernel 4.14, and... the green LED finally blinks ^-^
Very good :)
Usually the green onboard LED should show the SD card activity, but with this distro the LED is allways off.
This is the issue from gentoo-on-rpi3-64bit:
And this is from raspian:
