Hi, My autoscr says: protect on 1:0-1 && jerase all protect on 1:0-1 && erase f00000 +100000 tftp a2000000 rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2 cp.b a2000000 40000 ${filesize} tftp a2000000 uImage cp.b a2000000 f00000 ${filesize} so, I'm supposedly doing jerase. I even verified that jerase puts down 3-longword tags every 128kb block in the flash. I waited for over 10 minutes on the "Freeing init memory 128K" and so suspect that something is out of wack. I think you or someone else had indicated the the tag-scan takes a few minutes the first time around (if jerase weren't used). I'm rebuilding rev 1482 again from scratch to see what the new output offers. I've compared the .config files from 1482 and 1161 and don't see anything blatantly different. Thanks for the help.
