These partition name will be used for other operations, device names are still the same /dev/mtdblockX

You'll have to modify

output/build/linux2.6.34.1/arch/arm/mach-at91/board-sam9260ek.c

/*
 * NAND flash
 */
static struct mtd_partition __initdata ek_nand_partition[] = {
        {
                .name   = "Boot", 		/* /dev/mtdblock0 */
                .offset = 0,
                .size   = SZ_2M,
        },
        {
                .name   = "Kernel",		/* /dev/mtdblock1 */
                .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK,
                .size   = SZ_2M,
        },

        {
                .name   = "File System",	/* /dev/mtdblock2 */
                .offset = MTDPART_OFS_NXTBLK,
                .size   = MTDPART_SIZ_FULL,
        },
};

Then your kernel params should look like this:

'mem=64M console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock2 rw rootfstype=jffs2'
