Hi,

I am using v2.4.5 with patch-2.4.5-rmk7 and diff-2.4.5-rmk7-np1 patches

Earlier i used v2.4.2 with patch-2.4.2-rmk2 and diff-2.4.2-rmk2-np2 patches.

And I also patched the kernel with mtd. 
I am using jffs2 on the flash. Earlier i used jffs2 with 2.4.2 with no 
problems, but since i have switched to 2.4.5 I m getting lot of  
messages like this:

jffs2_scan_empty(): Empty block at 0xXXXXXXXX end at 0xXXXXXXXX (with 0x20031985)! Marking dirty

I partitioned jffs2 using 2.4.2. Is this the reason of this warnings? 
Sometimes it gives kernel panic also during giving warnings.

The dump follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
