I had quite the same problem :
in fact when I was copying the files to the DOC, the cp command ended
well, so I unmounted the doc and tried to reboot.... and same problem.
WHat I think could be a solution (it seems to work for me) :
using MTD drivers without debug. It seems that when using
drivers with debug commands, the log is really long and take a long time
or slow down something. When I had the debug compiled in, if I tried to
unmount the doc then remount it, there were no files on it !!!
I made a small script to build the doc file system and added several sleep
between commands in order to order to "wait for the flash to be ok".
I'll release a small howto about all of this in a few days (still a small
problem of name resolution in the small distrib I embedded on the DoC).
