Hi guys, I gave your workaround a try Mike but I still had no luck.
Because it doesn't find the CF card at all on initial power up I wouldn't expect any amount of waiting is going to help. So I end up stuck at the > prompt and have to manually type reboot. Also we do have a considerable stock of these card on hand that we intended for use in the 5501 so I really do need a proper fix. Soren should I send you a couple of these cards too? Here's my console output: 1 Seconds to automatic boot. Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor.
