(16Mb doesn't work yet - Anybody using a 16Mb flash and has been able to boot? Trevor?) However, when I try to login I get a bad access error. I did some checking, and the bad access seems to be weird. There should be 23952 blocks (998*12*2), but the error is about block 23948, count=2, which adds up to 23950. Ideas? (I also don't understand why am I getting to the end of the flash. I'm filling up only 9Mb of 12) Also, when I wrote the entire file system to the flash using the MTD drivers, I got a whole lot of ECC Errors. Why does this happen? (I usually get "Error went away on retry", however). And still there is the problem with the geometry on 16Mb flashes. -- Dvir Oren Lucid VON Ltd. 9 Saloniki St., Tel-Aviv Israel Tel: +972 3 644 3038 Fax: +972 3 644 3039 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
