Hi All,<br><br>I recently changed the kernel for my arm9 based system from linux 2.6.21 to linux 3.6.8. I then applied the patch as suggested in the Readme document.<br><br>now, when I select the YAFFS2 package with the kernel configuration and compile I get the error message and I am not able to do any thing further.<br>
