Problem with NAND on MIPS32 board (mtd 20050122)

Hello.

I'm trying to use a MIPS32-24KE (from Vitesse 7429) with NAND flash SAMSUNG K9F1G08U0B / Micron 29F2G08AAD,
and I have problem with reading it. Software I'm using is KAMIKAZE 8.09.2 (mtd 20050122)

Problem is when i try to read also the ID or any data from chip.
When I read ID for SAMSUNG I getting:
NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xFF, Chip ID: 0xEC (next readed byte is 0xF1) - 0xFF in mfc field makes
that my NAND is not recognized
Same situation with Micron (first byte 0xFF)

I changed nand_base.c and put one extra read command before reading first ID byte:

chip->cmdfunc(mtd, NAND_CMD_READID, 0x00, -1);
read_byte(mtd);  // added command
*maf_id = chip->read_byte(mtd);

NAND is now recognized and I have log (dmesg) like this:

After this, when NAND is recognized I have still problem with reading
(first byte is FF and other are shifted to right)
You can see it when I do nandtest (from mtd-utils)

Byte 0x6 is 23 should be 91 

From myself I can add that NAND i permanently selected - CS pin goes to GND (through 10k)

Please help me to find some solution to fix this issue.
Sorry about my english

Best Regards
