Hi !
I had the same problem some time ago. I sent my patches along with some 
rewrite for better support of different hardware to Steven Hill, who 
obviously maintains this nand stuff. I never got an answer.

The included diff is against kernel 2.4.17. 

The change in nand.c made NAND running. I have implemented JFFS and it works 
good (only mount time is a little bit ugly). I will try JFFS2 in the next 
weeks.
