Does the following error message mean anything to anyone? (I don't belong to this mailing list as yet so please reply direct)

flashcard: erase failed, status 0xffff
and then I have to reboot

I have a DOC1000 with all the right patches to 2.4.9. And the erase ioctl returns this.

I can read from it using dd.
But writes fail with similar results.

The DiskOnChip 1000 driver hasn't been looked at for some time, because I don't have one - it's been out of production for years now, I believe.

It should be turned into a 'map' driver and use the generic flash chip drivers, rather than having its own standalone driver. Look at the paging setup in something like drivers/mtd/maps/vmax301.c for inspiration.
