Thx for the (bad) info ;-)

Do you know which is the smallest kernel that supports ftdi? (Im currently on my home Mac and can't compile a new kernel).

a.

Update: it seems the new uImage is slightly bigger than the old... so my next question is: How can I resize the mtd1 (in the middle) without harming the others....

thx

andy

I am booting of a SD card (Ubuntu 9.0.4). Since I want to use ftdi device I had to upgrade my kernel. I followed your description (and the ones from crazyhawt) closely, but get a strange error. Here are the steps - maybe you have an idea?

root@debian:/# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00200000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 1fd00000 00020000 "root"

root@debian:/# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 1e0000 -- 93 % complete.
root@debian:/# nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 uImage
Image 2861324 bytes, NAND page 2048 bytes, OOB area 2048 bytes, device size 2097152 bytes
Input file does not fit into device: Success
Data was only partially written due to error
: Success

I didn't try to reboot, since I don't want to brick the plug.
Any info/solution appreciated...
