nboot command currently does not skip bad blocks and gives read error when loading image stored over bad block. With patch applied, nboot works as expected:
iirc, some people proposed a new command or an option to nboot to get skip behavior (e.g. nboot.jffs2), but i dont see the value in nboot never skipping bad blocks. when would anyone ever want to use a boot command and have bad blocks attempt to be processed ?
Ah... Are you reffering to "Loading from NAND using 'nboot' Periodically Fails Where 'nand read' Succeeds" thread? http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/41977/ It seems conclusion was to skip bad blocks by default, but no patch went in. I'm considering it a bug fix and therefore -rc material...
No, it was worse than that -- I sent a patch to fix it, but the boot portion of it was broken and incomplete. I'll apply this and send another patch to fix another bug.
