yeah. ;)

yeah, looks like:

...
DiskOnChip ECC Error: Read at 728000
Errors corrected: ffffffff
...

for all kinds of sectors. ;)

ok. 

So I have:

                                                /* read one sector for every SECTORSIZE of blocks */
                                                if (MTD_READ(nftl->mtd, block * nftl->EraseSize +
                                                                i + SECTORSIZE, SECTORSIZE,
                                                                &retlen, buf) < 0)

I still get:

tons of these...

DiskOnChip ECC Error: Read at 2fec000

DiskOnChip ECC Error: Read at 2ff0000

Errors corrected: ffffffff           
DiskOnChip ECC Error: Read at 2ff8000
Errors corrected: ffffffff           
Could not find valid boot record
Could not mount NFTL device     
...
NFTL_open                                          
ENODEV: thisNFTL = 0, minor = 23809, ip = c1173cf0, fp = c111bef8
VFS: Cannot open root device "5d01" or 5d:01                     
Please append a correct "root=" boot option 
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 5d:01

Should I have to have the DEBUG_ECC off? 

Looks like in find_boot_record() at the top of that file is another
MTD_READECC...should I change that to MTD_READ?
