Subject: [U-Boot-Users] Re: JFFS2 images written from U-Boot unusable in Linux? (Round 2)

Hi again,

New information entered the scene: I tried another (identical) board 
today having none of the "Bad eraseblock" messages from my Linux kernel. 
And then everything worked!
Hence, my boardsupplier suggested that U-Boot "ignored" these "Bad 
eraseblock" that the NAND presumable was born with... What do you think?

BR,
  Martin Egholm
