DoC support compiled into kernel

[David Bryant]

When I use the DoC 2000 Millennium driver compiled into the kernel 
2.4.20, I cannot get it to work correctly, but when I use the modules, 
it works fine.
 
I am using an M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 that has a three partitions and 
is formatted for ext2.  It works under 2.2.20 kernel with the DoC 
modules from M-Systems.
 
Here is the log file for bootup for when it is compiled into the kernel:

It detects the correct DoC size (16 Megs). But whenever I try to either 
fdisk it or mount it I get errors.  After a few minutes, fdisk will 
actually respond and try to partition the disk, but no partitions are 
found.  When I use the modules, everything works fine.  Does anyone have 
any ideas?  The error when trying to mount are listed below:
