compilation problems with Kernel 2.4.20-8

[Andrew Cilia]

Continuing on from this posting, I have managed to compile the mtd 
components against 2.4.20-8 (RH Ver 9) but still haven't managed to do the 
same with jffs2.  I have shelved the latter and am looking at getting nftl 
working over mtd. In this regard, I am seeing /dev/mtd0 and have run 
nftl_format on it. When I reboot, I get a message re: no valid partition 
information for nftla. I have not compiled mtd partitioning into the kernel 
so could this be the problem here? Is mtd partitioning mandatory? I also 
see nftla1 coming up on boot but I do not have this under /dev. Do I need 
devfs up and running also or is it just a matter of running MAKEDEV?


Thanks.
