hi nick
thanks for the reply
i understood your suggestion but
i am using old mtd ie compiling with CONFIG_YAFFS_USE_OLD_MTD flag
so yaffs will call nand_write & nand_write_oob & not nand_write_ecc.
the difference b/w my kernel & baloon kernel is baloon is using new mtd
baloon has used USE_WRONGECC = -DCONFIG_YAFFS_ECC_WRONG_ORDER=1 flag & i
nave not
i fell this cannot be the problem.
the bad block problem comes in 2-3 boards in 100 boards

any suggestions

may be i will enable debug messages in s3c2410nand.c file & try to debug

Regards
sharath
