Thanks for the tip.

I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet at some stage and build 
a more recent kernel. I was hoping to put this off until other 
development work was done but the ammount of time I'm wasting with 
other issues it may make sense to get stuck in now.

One of the main things that has been making me hesitate is NAND flash 
support. TS note it as "untested" so I guess that means there are (or 
were) some issues to be resolved.

I saw someone has posted patches for a recent 2.6 kernel with NOR 
support but not NAND.

Has anyone tried , succeeded or failed to get this working?

Thanks for any input.
