How do you define your partition layout? Are you sure that the beginning of the first jffs2 partition of MTD is not= =20 overlapping with your "keep-off" region? Eventually you could be trying to= =20 interpret parts of the kernel image as jffs2 filesystem. In that case you=20 will get such messages. Greetings, =2D-=20 David Jander
