I have found what was wrong, mkfs.jffs2 select the best compress algorith aviable, and that was lzo, that is not suported in kernel by default, so excluding it from de select list adding "-x lzo" param solves the problem and make a pretty jffs2 to flash :), tested several times :)
on Neo(or though an ssh session on Neo) opkg mkfs-jffs2 mkdir /var/tmp/root mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock6 /var/tmp/root on PC (pv used to se the progres of the operation, executed on ubuntu 8.04, change neos ip if needed) sudo aptitude install pv ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "mkfs.jffs2 -d /var/tmp/root -e 128 --pad --no-cleanmarkers -x lzo" | pv -W > the_name_of_your_rootfs_image_here.jffs2 scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/boot/uImage-2.6.24 the_name_of_your_kernel_image_here.bin Regards., Nishit, why si so slow is a combination of usb 1.1 rate+ tcp reducing even more this rate+ssh protocol even reducing it a little more+ strong work compressing of neo CPU (when I have tested without compressing the rate sensible increase but the jffs2 generated was about twice big) But not I have not measured it but I beleave take less time than flash it.
