If I'm not wrong, the 2.4 MTD driver and the 2.6 MTD driver is slightly different.
There are pretty bif differences between the MTD versions actually, but not on this level.
In fact in 2.4 you have /dev/mtd0 and /dev/mtdblock0 representing the whole flash.
No, this is wrong. For example:
bash-2.05b# cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.25 (wd@pollux) (gcc version 3.3.3 (DENX ELDK 3.1.1 3.3.3-9)) #1 Sat Jun 11 18:48:30 MEST 2005 bash-2.05b# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00060000 00020000 "u-boot" mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "env1" mtd2: 00020000 00020000 "env2" mtd3: 00100000 00020000 "kernel1" mtd4: 00100000 00020000 "kernel2" mtd5: 01d60000 00020000 "user"
In 2.6 /dev/mtd0 and /dev/mtdblock0 represent the first partition.
AFAIR this has always been the case; of course the first partition can be configured such as to cover the whole device, but that is a completely different story.
