the only thing is that boot is much slower, is it proportionnal with the jffs2 partition size (mine is about 30mb) ? is there a way to shorten boot time ? --- Quote End ---
I would think that this is mainly due to access to flash being slow: larger sizes, larger read times and incread boot time. However, I never used such a large rootfs, ours are mainly somewhere between 750kB and 2MB (cramfs).

I would remove the crud as much as possible. Maybe I'll have a look at the boot times here from flash: the 2.6.12 has a nice feature that prints the timestamps in the kmesgs.
