jffs2 root filesystem

[Alex Karev]

It seems that problem gone with upgrading to 2.6. kernel.
Thanks to all, and my apologize for distraction. 2.4. kernel was wish of 
our customer, but now we have strong arguments to debate about 2.6 :-)

Now we are trying to make root file system on nand, and here come some 
mysterious debug output while booting which we can't interpreter.

The operation order was:
1.    flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtdN
2.    mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtblockN /mnt
3.     ... copy root fs files to /mnt
4.     umount /mnt
5.    verification and mount umount test -> all ok.


we also was playing with mkfs.jffs2 and nandwrite, but failed even to 
mount files ytem.
mkfs.jffs2 -e 0x4000 -l -r ... -o ...
nandwrite -j /dev/mtdN img

where N = [0,1];



While booting  we have:
