I just recieved the faulty GD card and perform some tests.
At the first boot, I get this unknown menu. This seems to come from the RAM regarding to the following log :

?I replace the RAM by an other one, the card booted correctly.
Then, I put back the faulty RAM and it worked correcly.
I also tried to put the faulty RAM in a working GD and it worked correctly.
Very strange issue...

M.B.
