Hi Detlev,
The problem has been solved... The reason that "ls" didn't work from u-boot, was that the boards' u-boot config-file included an erroneous nand-size: #define CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE 64*1024*1024
Yes, I was about to check the options available in U-Boot and ask you to verify those but you beat me to it.
:-)
My board had only one configuration-file associated, but multiple nand-size configurations. The jffs2-image problems were related to the endianess problems of mkfs.jffs2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2004-January/009091.html
Another reason for using our ELDK - it has a working mkfs.jff2 ;)
Noo?! I used mkfs.jffs2 from ELDK 3.0:
# mkfs.jffs2 --version mkfs.jffs2 revision 1.25
# which mkfs.jffs2 /usr/local/eldk/usr/bin/mkfs.jffs2
# cat /usr/local/eldk/version ELDK version 3.0 ppc_4xx: Build 2004-02-16
But ofcourse, I guess the above error blocked u-boot from putting the correct image in the nand...
