I managed to program both these cards without a fail, and both cards boot my Nas server fine.
OK that's good news.
Did you use the NASLite-2 USB Flash Utility CD-ROM to install?
I guess there's no point for me going out and buying just any new CF reader I can find, it is very likely that it won't work - Grumpa said he tried 4 different ones and none of them worked!
So, could you please post the exact name and model of the card reader(s) that worked for you and I'll try to find the exact same one(s). Again, I assume that when you said it worked, you referred to the NL2 install procedure.
The CF/IDE adapter method is a very attractive booting solution, I think we should try to detect whatever pitfalls it may have (and perhaps make a short list of compatible/working hardware?) - not for just our own sake but to prevent future users having to pull their hair off...
