i'm currently looking at a technologic ts-7250 (ARM) board which
boots nicely to a 2.6.17 kernel that someone before me installed in
flash. as part of that perfectly fine boot process, i see this:
physmap flash device: 2000000 at 60000000
representing 32M of (NAND) flash at physical address 0x60000000. so
far, so good.
i've built a newer 2.6.21 kernel which, during the boot process,
does *not* print that line, but i don't think that should stop me from
getting a successful boot -- i just need to adjust the flash partition
info later for *that* to work. so here are the questions:
1) is it necessary to configure the kernel to print that info above?
2) if it is, can i assume it's as simply as adding that info under
Device drivers
MTD
Mapping drivers for chip access
i'm just about to try that but it wold be nice to know is
configuring that is actually *required* for a successful boot.
thanks.
