You use AMD flash? I think that's fixed now anyway. What else do you
use?

Yes, it's alive.

The latest snapshot should be fine for NOR flash. It's got some
relatively new code in for NAND flash which could do with some more
testing, but should be OK. And we've just switched the DiskOnChip driver
to work in the generic NAND flash code, so be very careful with that --
you should be able to safely use JFFS2 on DiskOnChip now though.
