Stuart:

Without knowing more about the specific origin and configuration of your
kernel, version and configuration of u-boot and model, revision and geometry
of NAND, it is difficult to speculate.

I am using:

    AMCC PowerPC 405EXr
    Samsung K9F1208U0B NAND
    U-boot 1.3.3
    Linux 2.6.25-rc3-DENX

Are you certain that u-boot and linux are in agreement about the NAND layout
and format? I had some initial problems in that area until I applied a patch
to u-boot (prior to 1.3.3) that addressed the issue and brought the two into
agreement.

Regards,

Grant
