[Soekris] CF card not recognised on net5501-70 (again...)

[NICOLAS Jean-François]

Hi list,

I known that a recurring problem but it's still unsolved for me.

When I use the latest net5501-70 boards that I've received (071102) with
COMBIOS V1.33 the CF recognition spends about 30s and the CF is always
recognised as Primary Master.
Then I tried to upgrade (V1.33b) or downgrade (V1.32i) COMBIOS without
succeed. I also changed FLASH parameter in COMBIOS without effect.

I always have a grub error (25) after the fastidious CF recognition with
COMBIOS v1.33b but if I enter in COMBIOS and type 'reboot' everything works
fine. That's a major issue because no null-modem cable is connected in our
use-case.

Moreover, if I use the same CF on older board (070422) everything works fine
from the 1st boot attempt. That looks like as an hardware issue (CSEL pin or
something else) but Wim told me that's purely software.

Now, I'm very confused and I hope someone can help me.

Thanks.
J-F.
