Well, thanks for your help !
I found it.
It was, as you said, in the kernel :
Caching block device access to MTD devices (MTD_BLOCK)
I didn't enable it, and, as it is said in the help message :
[quote]
At the moment, it is also required for the Journalling Flash File
System(s) to obtain a handle on the MTD device when it's mounted
(although JFFS and JFFS2 don't actually use any of the functionality
of the mtdblock device).

that's why i got jffs2 working and not yaffs...
Anyway, thanks to you both !

Richard.
