Hello, i have a SBC called wafer5820 which already has
a DOC2000 from M-system. I am trying to detect the
chip following the howto-mtd procedure but the device
seems to be missed. I also have other DOS software
provided by M-system called dinfo.exe and all seems to
be right. it says that i have a Milenium device
plugged into the socket 0 mapped at address d6000. I
also can format the device and all the stuff. I
undertsand that the device should be detected by the
docprobe code. but /var/log/messages only says

No recognised DiskOnChip devices found
Uhmm i am using the modules provided by Mandrake-9.0
which holds a 2.4.19-9 linux kernel.

Any Hint?
Thanks in advanced

If I remember correctly, the modules shipped with earlier versions of 
Mandrake did not have all the proper options enabled to support DiskOnChip 
out of the box.  This may also be true with 9.0.

You may need to rebuild the modules with the following options:
 
                CONFIG_MTD=m
                CONFIG_MTD_DEBUG=y 
                CONFIG_MTD_CHAR=m
                CONFIG_NFTL=m
                CONFIG_NFTL_RW=y 
                CONFIG_MTD_DOC2000=m
                CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE=m

Newbie question

Hi, 
I am very new to the MTD world and I had a quick question that may rank in the 
RTFM land, but I am doing that and not finding an answer. I have a board that 
has 2-2x16 128 Mbit Intel StrataFLASHes side by side that I want to run with 
the MTD layer. It looks like the cfi_cmdset_001.c will work except I have to 
issue commands to both FLASH chips at the same time. Has anyone implimented 
something like this? Is there some documentation other than the infradead 
site? As long as this is up to date I am happy, but I wasn't convinced it is 
fully up-to-date. I am coming the archives so even a quick subject line 
pointer would be great. 
Thanks 
Brian Waite

something like this just "works" (due to a lot of good programming)

I love it when good design shines. I can't wait to get the board up and watch 
the magic. Thanks for the information!

Newbie question

[Kobus Wolvaardt]

Hi,

I'm trying to build grub for an embedded system. I'm working in gentoo and I 
have most of my stuff up and running. I use kernel 2.6.11, i've compiled mtd 
support and after lots of headaces (and then changing to a workind doc) I got 
the doc to recognize.

Not for the question.... I have Karim Yaghmour's book and I tried to follow 
the instructions to the letter. Problem is it doesnt compile: error below. (I 
can only think that it has something to do with a too new gcc version, any 
other idees) And more importantly how do I fix it or what newer version of 
the grub patch can I download (where, cvs?) and what version of grub can be 
patched with it?

Thanks a million,
Kobus
