Yep I gave up fast :) We are living on "seems to work" for now, when the hallowed GIT kernel matures for DM355 + drivers, maybe we will port and everything will be roses. > As a work around you could make the root file system > partition smaller - this will at least allow the system to > start up resonably quickly.

However: the BBT still gets created, read by u-boot, and flash_erase and yaffs2 mounts seem aware of bad blocks under Linux.. and nothing has broken yet.. touch wood.
