System Hangs with Hive Registry - Only when flash card present at boot

We have recently integrated IPSM 3.8 and hive registry (stored using
IPSM) into our pxa270, CE 5.0 board. Everything works perfect except
when the unit is booted with a compact flash card present. The unit
boots all the way, but nothing is usable (ie, cannot execute an
application, although explorer comes up and the mouse still works).
I've tried loading the PCMCIA driver in the first boot phase to no
avail. If I remove the hive registry component from the build,
everything works fine again, so this is not an IPSM problem. Another
note... CF ethernet cards work just fine at boot, its only CF storage
cards that have problems. Lastly, if I boot the unit without a CF
storage card present, I can insert one after the unit is booted and
everything works fine. I have put retails msg's in the ATA Disk
driver, and it looks like it is functioning properly... is device.exe
or filesys.exe hanging? I can't use the remote tools to analyze the
problem because Active Sync doesn't work (nor does anything else) when
the flash card is present during boot. Any ideas?
