nandwrite problem

Hi,

I am using an 8Gbit ST Micro NAND flash. I am using the cross compiled mtd utils (mtd-utils-05.07.23) for mips 64.
The flash eraseall is working. But when I try to write an image (jffs2 / any other), I am getting the following error

# ./nandwrite -p /dev/mtd0 rootfs.jffs2
Writing data to block 0
pwrite: Input/output error
Data did not fit into device, due to bad blocks
: Illegal seek

The block 0 of this partition is a good block. This is verified by the boot up info as well as the flash_eraseall utility.
Also the partition is large enough to hold the image in spite of few bad blocks in the partition.

Can anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Sridhar
