Hi! Yes, I thought of that also, but I have used the same image on several net5501 that is working just fine, so why not these? Also, if it was a disk geometry problem - why would it work after a "warm reboot", but not a "cold" one?
For me, it seems like either some problem with the net5501 itself or that this series of flashcards are causing something to happen. Maybe LILO or syslinux can solve this, but I would like to find out why this happens. I am not so glad in having several images to deal with when preparing the boxes..
