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.
