thanks for the suggestion.

 flash_eraseall_ignoreBB /dev/mtd/1

flash_eraseall_ignoreBB: /dev/mtd/1: MTD Erase failure: Input/output error
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7ca0000 -- 99 % complete.
flash_eraseall_ignoreBB: /dev/mtd/1: MTD Erase failure: Input/output error
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7cc0000 -- 99 % complete.
flash_eraseall_ignoreBB: /dev/mtd/1: MTD Erase failure: Input/output error
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7ce0000 -- 99 % complete.
flash_eraseall_ignoreBB: /dev/mtd/1: MTD Erase failure: Input/output error
