[Soekris] Net4501 - CF Card Inserted = No Boot?

[Jason Rabel]

Today I unplugged my net4501 to move it, and when I plugged it back in it
would not boot, the power & error LED stayed on and nothing would come from
the console.

Oddly enough, when I removed the CF card and powered it on, it would boot.

I tried a couple CF cards with the same results. With them in and powered on
I only got an error. With them removed and powered on it would boot and I
could get to the comconsole. I tried a couple power supplies too just for
kicks, same results.

I looked over the board, particularly around the CF socket and there was no
debris or anything.

I'm at a loss... Anyone have any ideas?
