I saw the same error when I was trying to mount jffs2 as root. Maybe your
problem is similar to mine.
My solution:
1) in kernel file init/main.c 's dev_name_struct, add entry for
"mtdblock", 0x1f00
if it's not there already.
2) in ppcboot =>setenv bootargs init=/linuxrc root=/dev/mtdblockx
Hope this helps.
