The CF slot of NPE-G1 is very picky about CF - even if it's from
Cisco. I'd make sure I have latest ROMMON loaded and then do following:

- make the NPE-G1 boot the IOS correctly by any means - loading
  it until it goes up
- format the CF then - new ROMMONs tend to mask various 'problems'
  the reader may have with the CF
- then check if You can reboot the router safely and it will read
  the CF correctly

If You can't make it work - RMA the NPE. Maybe the CF reader is simply
broken.
