So do I. Unfortunately, drivers/mtd/cmdline.c is only available in the MTD
CVS for the time being (and Denx's kernel sources ;). Neither 2.5.34 nor
2.4.19 include this code. Instead, they currently include drivers/mtd/bootldr.c
which is only for ARM. Do you have any idea when cmdline.c will be part of the
mainline kernel?
