Hi Sean,

Thanks for your comments.

Same here :-) These values were used in the previous incarnation of the dts
file 
with a 2.6.26 kernel so I "migrated" them to 2.6.28-rc8. During my numerous
experiments to get the driver working, I *think* I have tried out both <0 0
2000> 
and <1 0 2000>, based on your provided template, and they yielded no good
results.
BTW, what I think the crash was all about when iomap()-ing to chip select
0,
was that addresses, in this instance, of "0d0000000" collided with the
kernel
somehow, as opposed to "1d0000000" or "2d0000000" which did not. Still,
this is
an un-educated guess :-)

Yep, we're using u-boot.
OK, this makes sense and I would also like to point out that I was trying
to
mount partitions created with the previous ndfc driver & kernel.

Unfortunately, I won't have access to the board until next week and I
cannot
remember accurately the u-boot version. So, if you're patient, I'll run
your
suggested reg <...> tests and provide more info on this after Xmas :-)

Thanks again,
Kostas
