I have 2 demo balloon board. After a few cycles of yanking the power
to reset andcheck they worked as expected both are poorly. YAFFS seems
to be the problem.
Both boards programmed with the code at:
http://balloonboard.org/files/balloon3/distro/test-v0.3/
(Balloon3, pxa270, 1GB 2K nand, kernel 2.6.22.2)
Board 1:
--------
Power up the machine and it works - 2 bad blocks reported.
cat /proc/yaffs says:
balloon:~# cat /proc/yaffs

reboot and every single one of the first 8160 blocks has 'erase error'
amnd is then declared bad. We get a yaffs tragedy, and the rootfs
fails to mount (so I can't get much in the way of diagnostics)
(sorry no log of that right now)
Any clues for further diagnostics?
Board2:
-------
Works, but takes over 5 mins to mount the FS. (pauses for several
minutes before issuing the 'restored from Checkpoint' message)
When it eventually boots:
balloon:/home/demo# cat /proc/yaffs
