about cfi-flash for DE2 board....

One minor problem in your rootfs, the uid/gid of bin etc... is 500/500, which is incorrect.

If your user id and group id on Linux are not 500, change these to your id instead. This will be used to map user file/dir ownership to root in initramfs.

General setup --> (for new kernels)

OR

Device Drivers --> Block devices --> (for 2.6.11-uc0)

(500) User ID to map to 0 (user root)

(500) Group ID to map to 0 (group root)

Add a dir /root to jffs2.

Then rebuild the kernel. And make the jffs2 rootfs data again.
