kernel panic with block2mtd

[Lior Balkohen <balkohen@gmail.com>]

hi list,

after patching my kernel with today's mtd cvs,

diaspora lior # modprobe block2mtd

diaspora lior # modprobe jffs2

diaspora lior # mknod /dev/mtdblock0 b 31 0

diaspora lior # echo "/dev/hdb2,8192" >
/sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd

diaspora lior # dmesg|tail

diaspora lior # mkfs.jffs2 --pad -d cdkflash -e 8192 -l -o /dev/hdb2

cdkflash is about 3 Mb and the hdb2 partition is 40 Mb

diaspora lior # mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 jffs2

filesystem is mounted:

diaspora lior # mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime,notail)

sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)

usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
/dev/mtdblock0 on /home/lior/jffs2 type jffs2 (rw)

but i have a kernel panic:
