MTD partitions

Hi,
on my old kernel (2.4.21 and the arm linux patch rmk2) it was possible to configure the
remapping of the flash in the xconfig/menuconfig files. I have created the mtd partitions in
physmap.c. So when i have made:
cat /proc/mtd
i got these outputs
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00400000 00010000 ""physically mapped flash"
mtd1: 00060000 00010000 ""USER fs"
My flash has a size of 4 MBytes and typically 64kbytes sector size. It started physically at
offset 0x10000000 and is connected via a 16 bit bus. These were also the configuration
paramter which i added to my config files. This must be mtd0. The mtd1 device is the partition
which i have configured in physmap.c.
After applieing the mtd snapshot(mtd-snapshot-20040407.tar.bz2) i have used
physmap_configure with the same data:
physmap_configure(0x10000000,0x00400000,2,NULL);
0x10000000 = physical flash base
0x00400000 = Flash size
2 = 16 Bit Buswidth
Then i have used
physmap_set_partitions(at91_mtd_parts,1);
to add my USER fs
static struct mtd_partition at91_mtd_parts[] __initdata = {
{
.name = "USER fs",
.offset = 0x00380000,
.size = 0x00060000,
}
};
Now i get following outputs when i make cat proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00060000 00010000 ""USER fs"
where is the "old mtd0" device with the whole flashsize ?
And how can i remove these messages from the startup of the kernel:
>cfi_cmdset_0002: Disabling erase-suspend-program due to code brokenness.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Is there any patch for this problem ? -
>kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k cmdlinepart, errno = 2
>cmdlinepart partition parsing not available
>kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k RedBoot, errno = 2
>RedBoot partition parsing not available
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Is there any reason for these messages ? -
