It did helped a bit in the sense that now my flash code recovers from CRC errors sometimes but sometimes it fails too and it fails because of Data corruption and when it fails it aborts my application and thereafter i have to start from the beginning i.e erasing the flash completely and then putting the application again. Can you please guide me in a bit detailed manner ? Which version of MTD is being used by you ? I tried out mtd-snapshot-20050217.tar and latest one also but still not able to get rid of my problem. I installed mtd using patchin.sh script with "-c -j" options and i copied an older version(1.60) of mtdchar.c file as the newer one was giving errors during kernel compilation and when i replaced it with older version mtdchar then the kernel compiled succesfully. If there is something crucial that i am missing out please let me know. I hope you have not done any major changes in the patches itself to get it working, if that is the case can you please update me where from can i get the working patches for 2.4.27-vrs1 or if you can forward the patches to me , that will be great.
