The CF slot of NPE-G1 is very picky about CF - even if it's from
Cisco. I'd make sure I have latest ROMMON loaded and then do following:

- make the NPE-G1 boot the IOS correctly by any means - loading
   it until it goes up
- format the CF then - new ROMMONs tend to mask various 'problems'
   the reader may have with the CF
- then check if You can reboot the router safely and it will read
   the CF correctly

If You can't make it work - RMA the NPE. Maybe the CF reader is simply
broken.

Another thought: If you've played with these cards a lot; had them in a card reader, etc. I might suggest getting rid of any cruft in the first few blocks:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourrawcarddevice bs=1024 count=256

On any sort of Unix box will do the trick. (the values above aren't critical, just good enough to get rid of any garbage)
