Dear List,

I have successfully used yaffs2 in my ARM system for a longish time in 
yaffs1 mode. I have routinely made filesystem images with mkyaffsimage 
and burned them into the NAND memory.

Now I updated the kernel to 2.6.27 and fetched the latest yaffs2 cvs 
(2009-01-09) and mkyaffsimage ceased to work. It doesn't even compile in 
the first place. I changed byteCount to byteCountLSB on line 244 to make 
it compile. After that it builds the image and I can mount it in the 
target machine and ls the root directory but the kernel Oopses in 
yaffs_CheckObjectDetailsLoaded if I try to ls a subdirectory.

Any ideas how to proceed? I presume that the mkyaffsimage code has left 
behind as yaffs has been developed further. Or is it likely that I have 
got confused? If it is the mkyaffsimage code in need fixing, I'm not 
familiar enough with the internals of the yaffs to fix it myself alone. 
Or is there other ways to build the image?

Yaffs2 by itself works in the target machine. I can fill the filesystem 
in a running machine and there seems to be no problems.
