I had the same problem with a plain 2.4.9. Rober Kaiser gave me the hint
that there's something missing in the device list in
"linux/init/main.c":
#ifdef CONFIG_NFTL
{ "nftla", 0x5d00 },
{ "nftlb", 0x5d10 },
{ "nftlc", 0x5d20 },
{ "nftld", 0x5d30 },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_FTL
{ "ftla", 0x2c00 },
{ "ftlb", 0x2c10 },
{ "ftlc", 0x2c20 },
{ "ftld", 0x2c30 },
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_MTD
{ "mtdblock", 0x1f00 },
#endif
As an alternative, you can switch to kernel 2.4.9 and apply Alan Cox's
patch-2.4.9-ac9. This also made JFFS2 working and maybe it also solves
your problem ;-)
Thomas.
(thanks to Alan for porting JFFS2!)
