Hello

I've digged a bit further :

I've bought a brand new CF, tried to boot on it, even though it was 
empty : same symptoms.

I've dd an OpenBSD-based image on this CF : it started to boot 
(although did not complete, as it was not designed for this hardware).
--> This lets me think that it's not a hardware issue with my old CF

At this step, I forgot to backup (dd) my "old" CF, then :
I've installed a brand new Debian Jessie with PXE : It now starts 
booting, but hangs after :
Loading Linux 3.16.0-4-586 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

I've tried to use the kernel from the live debian that boots fine, but 
it has the same behaviour.

Now I'll try to find an other power supply to see if it makes a 
difference... Unfortunatly, as I lost my initial CF, I'll probably be 
stuck at the same step "Loading initial ramdisk".

Did anyone sucessfully run a Jessie on Net5501 ?

Regards
Nicolas
