I am trying to build a linux system for a amd cs400 based system with amd 29f016 chips as the root fs. I have the mtd-jffs-howto dated aug2001 and the mtd-patch-2.2.18 of 20001218, but following the instructions gives me compile errors with __exit. So I have added #define __exit to fix these and now I get "undefined reference to init_mtd". Looking through this list archives I find in feb2001 reference to changing the method of init calls. But I guess I do not have this change. I did try applying the current CVS patch file, but it refuses to run on 2.2.18. Am I going in the wrong direction? Is it possible to use jffs2 on these chips in 2.2.18? The reason for not using a later kernel is problems booting it with the alios bootloader, but I guess I could revisit those. If it is practical in 2.2.18 can you advise which patches I should be using. Thanks David PS I am using mtd to write the pcmcia flash card on my host machine which is working very well - the code is much appreciated.
