linux not mounting jffs2 partition properly?

[Brian]

Hello,

I have an embedded build I am migrating from kernel 2.2.18 using JFFS2/v1.18
to kernel 2.4.20/JFFS2 v1.35.  I have patched the kernel with the current
CVS, and my utilities directory.  Everything compiles.  On bootup, however,
it almost looks like that the kernel is not mounting the JFFS2 partition
properly, and cannot run any commands (kmod, modprobe, open /dev/console,
etc...).  Below is a snip of my bootup sequence.  The flash is an Intel 16mb
ROM, 128k sectors.  Erase size when creating the image was also 128k.

/tmp/current_build/user/mtd-utils/build/mkfs.jffs2 -v -o
/tmp/current_build/images/jffs2.img -q -e 131072 -d /tmp/current_build/romfs

My older build with 2.2.18/v1.18 works fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

-Brian
