The version of cfi_cmdset_0002.c is 1.94, which is almost up-to-date
without David Vrabel's patches. I have some questions on the debugging
messages shown below.

VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 84k init
init started:  BusyBox v1.00-pre7 (2004.02.18-01:28+0000) multi-call binary

Q: The above messages show that the root filesystem seemed to be mounted
and the first script /etc/rc.sh was executed. Why is MTD tying to erase
0x00780000? What is MTD trying to do here? Filesystem cleanup?

My flash is Am29PL320D, and the configuration is 64-bit bus width and 2
chip interleaved. Erase block size is 512KiB. 0xFF000000-0xFF800000 is the
1st mtd device.

Q: What does the following WRITE mean? Why does it try to write 0xc03bdd84
to 0x00780000?

It seems to me that WRITE command failed somehow. It might be due to the
implemention of my own _write64(). But if the problem is in the _write64(),
I don't think that the chip even can be probed. The chips are found
correctly. Then what caused this failure?

This issue really drives me crazy. Any hints are appreciated. Thanks a lot.
