[U-Boot-Users] jffs2 fs for linux

[Alan Casey <alan.casey5@mail.dcu.ie>]

Hi Hinko,

  I had a similar problem. If you make sure
  that your Flash is programmed similar to
  the following order then it should work
  with the setup you describe:
 
  Image1 Addr1 u-boot  <-- mounted as /dev/mtdblock0
  Image2 Addr2 kernel  <-- mounted as /dev/mtdblock1
  Image3 Addr3 jffs2   <-- mounted as /dev/mtdblock2

  Hope this helps,
  Alan.
