Lonnie,
This is on a new CF card; I've (wisely now) kept my "production" card safe.
That being said, I've just tried two experiments to see if there would be any
differences and eliminate some possible variables:
experiment 1: using a second spare CF card of different make (Lexar vs.
Transcend), use Mac to flash image
experiment 2: try using physdiskwrite on WinXP to flash image instead of Mac.
In each case, the same result was seen--over 25m to boot.
I tried editing syslinux.cfg as per your suggestion and again, no improvement.
I'm really scratching my head on this one!
cheers,
Shamus
