Well, I ran flash_rom on a few random machines. Older, newer, etc.
flash_rom found a standard jedec flash chip on one machine:

probe_jedec: id1 0xbf, id2 0x60
SST49LF004A/B found at physical address: 0xfff80000
Part is SST49LF004A/B

But on all others, only mine did the probe_md2802 do anything that was
not just 0xff or 0x11. So I was just going on the assumption (perhaps
bad assumption) that it was finding *something*. In any case, there is
lots of work to do to increase what flash_rom can detect.

Perhaps there are other tools that should be tried. I start to wonder
that I shouldn't be using some other kernel device drivers instead
(mtd,jffs)? The PC_CHIPS_M810LR port guide does this so perhaps this is
the recommended route going foward?

Thanks for your feedback though,
Jeff


So this is just junk output? It would be nice if the wiki had "good"
output to compare things with.
