If I affronted those kind people because my unwisdom and impertinence, I apologize to every one very cordially.
I always remember following phases that D. Richard Hipp's  ( www.sqlite.org ) blessing:
           May you do good and not evil.
           May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others.
           May you share freely, never taking more than you give.
I don't know how to express my mind in English. My mother language is Chinese. My English is so poor.

I checked out MTD by cvs almost everyday, so maybe the latest snapshot version. 
At this day, I try it again:
    I patched it by "sh patchin.sh -c -j kernel-patch"
    When I patched it to kernel 2.4.21, compiling succeed.
    When I patched it to kernel 2.4.18,  error occurred when link vmlinux. Message is BUG_ON undefined at put_mtd_device. I grep whole kernel tree and cvs mtd tree, then did not find macro BUG_ON. I guess it just like ASSERT macro, so I comment every BUG_ON, and re-build kernel. compiling succed. so I "grep -rw BUG_ON 2.4.21/include" and find 2.4.21/include/linux/kernel.h has BUG_ON definition.
How about think about this?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,
Russell Greece.
