IPL block is bad on DiskOnChip 2000
Dear all,
I have successfully DFORMATted my MD2202-D64 today, and try to install a jffs2 file system to it.
I created a root.jffs2 using mkfs.jffs2 and tried both "cp root.jffs2 /dev/mtd0" and "dd if=root.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0", but I still can't "mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt". (Yes, I know I missed the "erase" command after I check the HowTo again.)
When I want to start again with dformat, I get "/ERROR - IPL block is bad."
I searched from google and I found Tim has the same problem but seems has no solution.
Does anyone know a solution to this?
/
Thanks,
Martin

Assuming you have no bad blocks on your DiskOnChip, you need to erase it with 'eraseall' first.
Really, you shouldn't be doing this before we properly sort out the bad block management on these devices.
