Hi!
I now did a kernel update (in fact, I started over with a new kernel)
and am now using 2.6.18-RC6 from kernel.org.

I have read access to the flash, rootfs is mounted correctly but at
first write attempt I get:

[42949375.150000] Freeing init memory: 96K
[42949376.480000] Erase at 0x00cc0000 failed immediately: -EROFS. Is the
sector locked?
[42949377.520000] Erase at 0x00c80000 failed immediately: -EROFS. Is the
sector locked?
[42949378.560000] Erase at 0x00c40000 failed immediately: -EROFS. Is the
sector locked?
[42949379.600000] Erase at 0x00c00000 failed immediately: -EROFS. Is the
sector locked?


I had hoped that the P30 chips would be supported now, but it seems they
are not fully. How can I unlock the sectors, if that is really the issue
here.

This is really starting to scare me a little ;)

Thanks in advance!

Cheers
