I be interested in seeing the results of "cat /proc/mtd" on your system. 
  Also, it would be interesting to see what happens if you omit step 3). 
  Obviously, if you do that your kernel will be unable to load your root 
filesystem.  But at the moment you aren't even getting the kernel loaded.

You might also want to examine the output from "./nanddump -p 
/dev/mtd1", to see if the 0xdbb1 tag shows up.  Omit the -p flag if you 
prefer binary (rather than pretty-printed ascii) output.

BTW I do everything with the 2.6 kernel; that certainly is not the 
problem.  In fact the MTD developers don't generally test against the 
2.4 kernel :)
