Hi Triffid --
Take a look at:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/5497 and followups.
There's a patch for the low bogomips and NAND partition table issues
you ran into, plus some others you haven't found yet :)
Good to see another 2.6 user!
Regards, ..... Charlie
PS - Lennert's derevo patches are old. Newer ones are at
http://svn.wantstofly.org/kernel/ but I don't believe he's updating
them lately. Most stuff is upstream by now.
