The info missing here is: did the CF card work with an earlier comBIOS version ? Yes: There was a few changes in the IDE code, to fix a div 0 bug caused by a mfg issues with soldered on flash on net4x26 series, and some of the timeouts was shortened. Those changes shouldn't cause any problems, but you never know.... If so, I need access to that specific CF module to investigate. No: Find another CF, preferable a Sandisk.
