Have used S29W models, check the datasheet for your model and see if the CFI query address is 0x555, if so see: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2005-September/013641.html Haven't checked if there are features of the flash that mtd/jffs2 aren't taking advantage of, but most chips do work. -- Todd
