This message comes from Redboot, Redboot has detected your CF
card and is running a basic test on your CF card. Here is a 
comment from the source code explaining what the test is doing.

             // This is reminiscent of a memory test. We write a value
             // to a certain location (device register), then write a
             // different value somewhere else so that the first value
             // is not hanging on the bus, then we read back the first
             // value to see if the write was succesful.

If the code doesn't read back the first value correctly then this
error message is printed. I would try using a different CF card.
