I did a look at it. On my board this register states "0110" which means:
 - 8 bit NAND
 - 512 bytes per page (e.g. "normal" NAND)
 - 4 address cycles
And this setting is all right, my flash is a K9F1208U0A.

But Marek's board states "1110" which means:
 - 8 bit NAND
 - 2048 bytes per page (e.g. "advanced" NAND)
 - 5 address cycles
And this setting is bad, because his K9F1G08U0B uses 4 address cycles only.
Maybe it works because the NAND ignores the 5th address cycle?

Others here around with a mini2440? Can you send me your NAND device type and 
the content of register 0x4e000000?
