Well, I used dformat on a different chip as suggested, but that was with
the unpatched kernel, so the chip probing failed (but didn't crash).
I'm now using a fresh one - I didn't think I should _have_ to resize the 
firmware area first, should I? I'll try the patched kernel with a 
resized-firmware-area chip tomorrow....ZZZ

Yes, I've been using 2.6.11.5 with the diskonchip driver compiled in -
see first dmesg section below...

 > - Can you tell me what kind of crash it is?
See second dmesg section below. Looks like it's falling over around 
where the ECC errors were occurring.

Sorry I haven't offered any real help on this!
