I have installed Voyage Linux on 0.8.5 on two CF cards (256MB, and
4GB).  There is only one partition /dev/sdb1, Grub is the boot loader.

The install process goes fine i.e. no error message on the screen.

On my laptop, fdisk -l shows the the partitions on the CF.

When I put the CF cards in the net5501, it fails to recognize the cards.

The BIOS times out and goes to PXE boot; it fails as there is no
ethernet connection to the device and then this is the last part of
the display on the serial console.

I have installed other distros on these CF cards and they work fine,
so I am pretty sure the CF cards are not the problem.

Any pointers as what could be the problem?
