Perhaps this is already known, but it may serve as useful news to some. 

The version of mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c in 2.6.0-test7 (revision 1.29
according to $Id$) has suffered a regression.  That version fails to detect
AMD AM29LV800BB flash in 16-bit x 1 configuration.  Replacing it with
revision 1.32 from CVS or downgrading to revision 1.6 from 2.5.70-rmk1,
holding everything else constant, solves the problem.

Also, all versions of mtd/chips/jedec_probe.c need:

#include <linux/init.h>

for 2.6.0-test7.  (I cannot ssh from my current network location, otherwise
I'd make this change to CVS.)
