kernel can not detect flash device.

kernel can not detect flash device.

[zydla son]

Hi,
    
    My target platform is ForcePowerCore 6750 which has four userflash(AM29F016) and I choose the relative options according to the "Linux MTD, JFFS HOWTO",but kernel can not detect flash device.
    Some infos:
_______________________________________________________________________________
physmap flash device: 200000 at ffe00000   /* system address range is from ffe0.0000 to ffff.ffff */
Physically mapped flash: Found no CFI device at location zero

Is the AM29F016 actually CFI-compliant? Try the amd_flash driver. You'll 
probably have to hack the physmap.c code to invoke that probe instead of 
the cfi probe.
