i am trying to store the kernel image (uImage) inside of the
jffs2-filesystem .. thus i need the fsload command to load it from the
filesystem into sram.

we are using dataflash as well, and it works! but we store the kernel
image directly on the dataflash ..
if we can store the kernel inside of an jffs2-image which is mounted
during the system runs it would be much easier to update the kernel, or
am i wrong?
that is what the whole discussion is about.

here is some output:
