Is this an old board just now starting to show problems, or is it a 
new board that has always had problems?

If you can compile and test your own kernel, you can try to define 
DEBUG_CFI_FEATURES which will tell more about the feature set 
detected from the flash.  Also you could try to define 
CMDSET0001_DISABLE_ERASE_SUSPEND_ON_WRITE, which works around bugs 
in some early Intel Strataflash chips (but I suspect the chips were 
fixed long before TS started using them).  Both of these are already 
in the file drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c, and just need to be 
uncommented.

Hmm, 215 kernel compiles ... I guess you can compile your own 
kernel :) 

Maybe you are reaching the end of the number of write cycles the 
flash can take?  Anyone know the symptoms a TS-7200 would show in 
such a case?
