YAFFS2 uses the mtds AUTOPLACE and expects it to be working correctly, which

The classic symptom for this being the problem is that JFFS2 and everything

The toby-churchill stuff has the AUTOPLACE fixed/hacked/bypassed  by Nick. He 
passed the patch on to mtd folks in May and I believe it is now sorted out 
(properly) in the main mtd.
