There are a few points worth noting:

1) If you are using NAND with 512 byte pages, then you do not need YAFFS2
(you can use YAFFS1) though you can use YAFFS2 with the backward
compatability mode.
If your NAND has 2Kbyte pages then you need YAFFS2.

2) The mtd does not suipport older kernels any more (I think you need at
least 2.4.27). You could however back port the few features required. I did
this for a 2.4.18 system to do some RAM-based testing and it was quite
trivial.

3) I suggest you go look at the Balloon stuff:
