I wonder if you're running into the symptom in this field notice from
2007 -- Unable to Read Compact Flash - ROMMON Upgrade Available:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62573.html
The real cause was a defective compact flash controller but Cisco
worked around it with a ROMMON update.
I've run into a number of these at a customer that has hundreds of
1841s in the field.
