Newbie questions: MTD vs M-Sys, ... RTLinuxPro

[Edward A. Hildum]

Andre,
         I'm also having problems with the 256MB DoC2000 with TrueFFS 
5.1.4.  I've built a recent kernel (2.4.18) with MTD.  When it starts, the 
DoC is recognized as a DoC Millenium, and the driver says the flash chips 
are not recognized.  I am trying now to get information about the flash 
chips from M-Systems.  If I get this, it should be easy to update the table 
of known flash chips so MTD can access the new DoC.
         I'm also working on booting from the DoC using GRUB, but I am 
having trouble getting information from M-Systems.  If I find a solution, I 
will post it to this list.
