500V2+ Does Not Boot From IDE

Hi there,
I just wanted to use my Vampire 500V2+, which was bought in 2018 but never used. It was delivered with Core 2.50.
I flashed now Core 2.14 on it, which was a little pain, because you need a huge Intel-Installer, to get the programmer, but after all, the flash was successful.

But, the Amiga does not boot from IDE.
Amiga 500 with 68000 --> works
Amiga 500 with Vampire + CF-Adapter --> starts, but no signal on DIGITAL-VIDEO, no HDD-LED.
The CF-Card is fine, it works in WinUAE.
Another Card, from my A500 with ACA500p, does not work too.

Is there anything I can try?

The card should be not registered, because I wasn't able until now to start GetSerial, because the whole machine does not boot.

Some CF-Adapter do not work well. Is your CF listed in the EBM?

Also core 2.14 for V500 comes with Aros/Apollo ROM. You can't use AmigaOS with this Core.

The CF-Adapter is a standard one and listed. It works with other Vapires in a friends system.

Also, in the early-startup there is no boot-device CC0 visible.

Latest Core is 2.15
You can get it on the Apollo-Computer Download section.
