it's really not a possibility to port to 2.6 at this time. 
is there anything else that you can point me at, i would much appreciate it.

how about this error 

MTD do_erase_oneblock(): Wacky!  Unable to decode failure status
MTD do_erase_oneblock(): 0x07f40000(0x00ff00ff): 0x27051956 0x27051956 0x27051956 0x27051956

any ideas here, this hasn't changed much. 
i still get these even after backing out my changes that i mentioned in the original post. 

thanks !
