[leaf-user] Compact Flash Boot Failure

[Brock Nanson]

I've got several boxes running several versions of Bering and Bering 
uClibc, all on Compact Flash cards.  They've all been reliable, except 
for one box.  Twice in the last six months, the box has failed to boot. 
 The CF is recognized in the BIOS, but no boot information seems to be 
found.  The first time it happened, I swapped the CF card for another 
and built the system from scratch.  This time I'm wondering if the 
computer could be part of the problem.  I don't like the double 
coincidences of it a) failing in the first place and b) failing *twice* 
in the same box on different CF's.  Especially when all the others have 
run for years.

Has anyone had a problem like this?  I'd like to know if the box could 
be the problem before I take the time to replace this CF yet again.  The 
unit is in a remote location and is fairly mission-critical.  I can't 
have this happen so regularly.
