There are a few points worth noting:

1) If you are using NAND with 512 byte pages, then you do not need YAFFS2=
=20
(you can use YAFFS1)  though you can use YAFFS2 with the backward=20
compatability mode.=20
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=20
least 2.4.27). You could however back port the few features required. I d=
id=20
this for a 2.4.18 system to do some RAM-based testing and it was quite=20
trivial.

3) I suggest you go look at the Balloon stuff:=20
