Are you using a ramdisk, or using mtdblock1 as the rootfs?
I'm a little unclear on this.  It looks like you're using the JFFS2
MTD partition as your rootfs, not using a ramdisk.

Well, this looks totally broken.  Did you format the flash correctly?
I would use 'flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd1' 'nandwrite -j /dev/mtd1
jffs2_rootfs.img', and then try mounting it 'mount -t jffs2
/dev/mtdblock1 /mnt/temp', and make sure that works correctly before
trying to boot off of it.

(Can you load a ramdisk another way to do this?)

On the other hand, all the errors look the same.  Once you figure out
what that is, you could have it working.
