Booting from /dev/mtdblock/0

[John Weston]

G'day,

Have not got to the bottom of this yet, but having the same problem. We had
a development board which worked fine using kernel version 2.4.3 but since
updating to 2.4.18 we are now seeing the same problem.

Does anyone know of any required patches for this?

Thanks

John Weston
