I have some Problems with nftl_format. In Consolemodus there is no problem with it. I can use nftl_format in less than 20 Seconds, fdisk it, and make a ext2 Filesystem on it. But when i start my XFree, its very slow, and eats about 99% of CPU. A nftl_format needs 10minutes under X, and takes a lot of CPU-capacity. Moving my mouse is not possible during the process. Here are some infos, i dont know if you need them: The MTD-Version i use: mtd-snapshot-20010716.tar.bz2 The way i patched my 2.4.6-Kernel: sh patchin.sh /usr/src/linux I have activated the follwing Options in Kernel: - -Memory Technology Device (MTD) support - -Debugging - -MTD partitioning support - -Direct char device access to MTD devices - -FTL (Flash Translation Layer) support - -NFTL (NAND Flash Translation Layer) support - -Write support for NFTL (BETA) Self-contained MTD device drivers - -Test driver using RAM (4096) MTDRAM device size in KiB (128) MTDRAM erase block size in KiB (0) SRAM Hexadecimal Absolute position or 0 <*> M-Systems Disk-On-Chip 2000 and Millennium The Next Thing: What would be the best way of booting the chip? a patched lilo? Grub? Is there an good howto for it? I want to Install a complett Server on it using httpd or dhcp, whatever. thanks, - -- Cemil Degirmenci // http://cemil.debian-linux.de Am Eisenberg 13 // Tel. 06638-9180010 36341 Lauterbach // Mobil. 0177-2541153 Germany // E-Mail cemil@security-focus.de ------- End of Forwarded Message
