If you mean v 1.62 if cfi_cmdset_0002.c, this is what actually comes with Linux 2.4.25, and I tried that. On top of the timeouts I get a kernel panic as well on a timeout with that version. Did you mean that, or am I getting my versions wrong? http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-April/009660.html http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-April/009666.html Both these references above are why I cannot actually go with that release (I currently have tested 1.62, 1.93 and 1.98(current)). Is this simply a too low timeout problem (which I guess it isn't - timeout seems now to be longer, and it still doesn't help), or is it a problem of the write failing (so a timeout will show in any case)? I'm beginning to guess the 2nd one. With kind regards, Oliver Korpilla
