I am using /dev/mtdblock0 as the root, and put a jffs2 image on it.
but when the kernel boots up, it panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,0)

Any suggestion?

Put this on your kernel command line:

rootfstype=jffs2

We really need to update the FAQ with that.  *sigh*
