[c-nsp] NPE-G1 cant read Compact Flash

So this happily running router executes a write mem, which archives a 
copy to the CF card.

Then it hangs and doesnt come back.

Hard reset of the router doesnt read the CF card and boots the boot 
helper instead or just hangs.

ROMMON cant read the CF card, a 256MB. Cant read a new 1G card. Cant 
read a cisco branded 64MB card.

dir disk2:
open: read error...requested 0x4 bytes, got 0xffffff8
trouble reading device magic number

Booting the router from tftp works.

Up and running 15.0.1, neither that nor the boot helper 12.3(5a) can 
read the 64MB card.

%Error show disk2: (No such device)

Inserting the 256MB or the 1GB more often than not hangs the routers.

Sounds broken. Anyone else seen something like this?

Joe
