The problem is an interaction between the Net5501 and some CF cards,
is OS-agnostic.
See the official answer at http://soekris.com/Issue0006.htm

What I found was that if I upgrade the BIOS to 1.33b the card is
detected but boot fails, the only solution was to walk over to Circuit
City and buy an authentic Sandisk card.
