It still takes 1 min and 30 sec to mount it and sometime when I do a ls the system hangs for 10-20 sec before the output from ls is seen. Is this normal? Maybe I should change my kernel, but to which? Linux 2.4.3? Or maybe a later kernel from the PPC tree? Also, when I boot the kernel it stops and ask for a kernel cmdline. Usually I press return here and the boot continues with my default values. How can I make the kernel bypass this and start without any questions asked?

We had a problem with the endianess some time ago and run into the same trouble as you did. Mounting took a long time and after that the flash was completely empty. Files cound be moved onto it, but as soon as you re-mounted the flash it was empty again. Try if this happens to you too. I know its a wild guess but maybe it helps!
