If this is what you want, you should let the kenrel know about that...
Log messages from kernel:
...
Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on. Total pages: 16256 Kernel command line: root=/dev/mtdpart4 rootfstype=squashfs,yaffs,jffs2 noinitrd console=ttyS0,115200 init=/etc/preinit
... but your kernel's boot arguments show no trace of any mtdparts= argument.
I am sure I am doing something wrong here.....? It is MIPS Architecture + Linux 2.6.28...

PS: And please stop quoting the full text of the whole e-mail thread as this is considered to be impolite on mailing lists.
:-(
