Hi

I met a problem that use K9F1G08 flash with 2K page size on Linux .
I tried jffs2 and yaffs2 file system but occurs same error info as following 

----------------------------------------------------------
NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xa1 (Samsung NAND 128MiB 1,8V 8-bit)
NAND_ECC_NONE selected by board driver. This is not recommended !!

Freeing init memory: 88K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Failed to execute /linuxrc.  Attempting defaults...
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

------------------------------------------------------------

I checked the /dev/console and /linuxrc is exist on rootfs .

Seems this problem is caused since 2K page size with flash ,so how to resolve this problem ? Whether need do related work within u-boot because I suppose u-boot given wrong data format to flash that Linux mtd does not know it ?



Thanks Advanced .
Best Regards.
