Well you said you did not have nfs server but that really would help
you narrow things down. If you can boot to the root fs via nfs you
know it's consistant and that your problem lies with you CF driver or
fs.
If you dont have nfs I guess that means you are working from windows.
Probably not the best dev platform for a linux target.
I suggest you get a liveCD of some sort , linux from scratch or
partedmagic would do. I'm fairly sure both of those will let you boot
directly to a system having nfs. Mount your rootfs where ever it sits
and export it as nfs. Just a couple of commands really.
It seems you currently have too many unknowns.
