Hi

I use this mechanism and I have no problems like what you describe. If you 
would like to see a working example, look at the bootloader sources at
http://balloonboard.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/balloon/branches/bootldr36-pxa-sa1100/ 
which is an implementation in current use.

I am afraid that your debug report of "not able to detect" is a little 
sparse so I can't help more than that without any other information.

Please note taht mkyaffs2image makes an image suitable for 2k page size 
nand and not for a 512 byte page size nand using yaffs2 in compatability 
mode. For that you would use mkyaffsimage

Good luck

Nick
