/dev/mtd* not there with latest MTD

/dev/mtdblockX works fine, but /dev/mtdX NOT.

Did you only create mtdblocks or mtds too?
Older MTD creates /dev/mtdX with minor numbers X*2; running flash_erase 
(for example) works fine.
Not so with same kernel, but latest CVS: creating exactly the same 
/dev/mtdX as mtdchar.c would do (e.g. older MTD would do), I cannot 
operate the flash properly. flash_erase results in an CFI error:

 > > flash_erase /dev/mtd4

 > H720X: block erase error: (status timeout)
 > MTD Erase failure: Input/output error

Hm...
