I'm running JFFS2-on-DataFlash successfully on 2.4.27-vrs1.

1) You will need to download the latest CVS version of the MTD/JFFS2
code from cvs.infradead.org (see http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/ for
instructions).

2) Read the INSTALL file and then run the ./patchin.sh script

3) There are some incompatibilities with 2.4 kernels, but they're not
difficult to fix.  This might help:

4) Configure your kernel and enable "JFFS2 write-buffering support"
under Filesystems->JFFS2.
