CFI with 4 x8/x16 devices on a 32-bit bus

yeah, shame on emacs! :-)

It's working much better now. I have managed to create a JFFS2 FS on one
partition and copied
a few files to it. No problems so far. Now I trying to make that partition
my root FS, have not gotten
very far yet, but I will :-)

I still working my way through MTD and I have still much to learn ...
Hope you have the time to answer a question or two ...

We are doing our own custom board(PPC860) with 3 "banks" of Intel Flashes.
Each bank consists of 2 flashes in 16 bit mode, 2-chip interleave, 32-bit
data bus.
Now I want to make a partition that spans more than one flash bank(or at
least crosses
a bank boundary). Is that possible? Any special tricks or just do an
add_mtd_partition() call?
