nftl problem

Before i gave up on nftl, i found the following problem: nftl accesses the
flash through the read_ecc and write_ecc function pointers in the slave
mtd_info structure. However, when the slave structure is initialised, only
the read and write function pointers are filled, not the read_ecc and
write_ecc; i got kernel panic out of this, which got away when i filled
the fields.

Anyway, i gave up on nftl; my mtd seems to run ok now, as i put a ext2
filesystem on the mtdblock0 device and it runs fine.

But i can;t get jffs2 to work - i used the code from the latest snapshot
on the infradead site - is it ok? Can i get a 'stable' version somewhere?
my kernel is 2.4.2.

Thanks,

Radu
