Alberto,

I am not familiar with the Acronis software so I suspect it may not work for you as expected.

When you clone the image on a different CF card (restore the image to the card), did you verify the result CF content?
Did you see the partitions created with proper FS and file&directory structure of your image?
Also, verify that the system partition in your design is marked as active on the new CF card after you restore the image on it.

Also, please set a non-zero timeout in boot.ini to see if you get to load ntldr at least.
