I'm not sure what's from the flash driver itself, but there's no "Flash
writer error" or anything like that.  In any case I've attached all the
log messages leading up to the "I/O error" in my previous post.  For the
mount command, here's an excerpt of the debug message:

bash# mount -t jffs /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/jffs
mtdblock_open
