I'm using the head, which I grabbed last week: U-Boot
1.3.4-rc1-00012-g1953d12
TIA for checking your itx with this version.

Thanks for confirming.. I was losing my mind :-)
This looks like it is indeed a HW problem with the ITX. Are you aware of
any threads/documents describing the issue? We based our custom HW off
the ITX schematic with regards to the CF, and I hope we didn't copy over
_that_ problem :-/
