And I also patched the kernel with mtd. I am using jffs2 on the flash. Earlier i used jffs2 with 2.4.2 with no problems, but since i have switched to 2.4.5 I m getting lot of messages like this: jffs2_scan_empty(): Empty block at 0xXXXXXXXX end at 0xXXXXXXXX (with 0x20031985)! Marking dirty I partitioned jffs2 using 2.4.2. Is this the reason of this warnings? Sometimes it gives kernel panic also during giving warnings. The dump follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- jffs2_scan_empty(): Empty block at 0x017c0000 ends at 0x017c0000 (with 0x20031985)!
