I recently purchased a net5501-60 with the intention of using with it a SATA HD 
and CompactFlash card (and booting from the CompactFlash).

But I have a problem: the net5501 will not detect both the HD and the 
CompactFlash card.

If the CompactFlash card and HD are installed, BIOS shows the Flash card as 
"Pri Mas" device and never lists the HD.

If only the HD is installed, the BIOS _sometimes_ lists the HD.  When it does, 
it is listed as "Pri Sla" and "134 Gbyte" instead of the roughly 320GiB that it 
is.

I have tried it with 2 HDs:
- Western Digital 320GiB SATA
- Seagate 320GiB SATA

Both HDs work in a ThinkPad T61 laptop.  Both HDs work with a USB/SATA adapter.

I have tried using an external power supply (from the adapter) for the hard 
drive.

I upgraded the BIOS from 1.33 to 1.33c.

I sent the board back assuming issue 7/8 (at 
http://www.soekris.com/Issue0007-8.htm) and received a replacement.

Here are the BIOS settings I am using.
 ConSpeed = 115200
 ConLock = Enabled
 ConMute = Disabled
 BIOSentry = Enabled
 PCIROMS = Enabled
 PXEBoot = Disabled
 FLASH = Primary
 BootDelay = 2
 FastBoot = Disabled
 BootPartition = Disabled
 BootDrive = 80 81 F0 FF 
 ShowPCI = Enabled
 Reset = Hard
 CpuSpeed = Default

What next?
Thanks.
