Ok, one step forward. With these patches I can now copy a generated 
rootfs to flash, mount it, and read it without problems.

But with writing to an empty flash, there are still these problems. I 
can confirm, that the mtd interface works properly when reading, 
writing, erasing flash. For testing, I have replaced only the jffs2 with 
an old version, leaving the mtd part the same. There everything works fine.

My guess at the moment is, that the write buffering has some problems 
somewhere. I can see, that everytime a whole pagesize is written to 
flash. Is that intended?

Any ideas?

Best regards
Peter
