Thanks, I've tried now with both, 1.93 and 1.98, too:

When trying with my patch against the old revision, I get this:

/ # cat tmp/rootfs.jffs2.img > /dev/mtd2
MTD do_write_oneword(): FLASH internal timeout: 0x00200020 0x7aa6fe27

When trying with the newest revision from CVS, I get this:

On boot:

When I try to use it:

The write error in cat is described as follows in /var/log/messages:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
