As of March 2005 we dropped Linux 2.4 support from CVS head. This means we 
no longer care whether the CVS code can be used on Linux 2.4 or not.

If you are using the ancient 2.4 kernel, that's probably because you're 
interested in stabliity -- it is old and long-tested code. If that's what 
you want, then you should use the original JFFS2 code which is part of the 
2.4 kernel. It's old and slow and doesn't support NAND flash, but it is 
stable, and is maintained.

The MTD community is neither able nor interested to provide support for 
new MTD and JFFS2 code with ancient kernels. Move yourself and update to a 
recent kernel. If you use a vendor supplied kernel, please get support 
from your kernel vendor. Do not ask on the mailinglist for help with such 
problems. You are either ignored or you get a pointer to this text. Please 
save the bandwidth and our time to sort out such questions."
