I installed Debian Jessie on a ReadyNas102 that has a bad block, like so: ,---- | NAND: (ID 0xf1ad) 128 MiB | MMC: MRVL_MMC: 0 | Bad block table found at page 65472, version 0x01 | Bad block table found at page 65408, version 0x01 | nand_read_bbt: Bad block at 0x000000240000 `----
Where using the current flash-kernel resulted in a non-booting system, with messages like these: ,---- | nand: nand_erase_nand: attempt to erase a bad block at page 0x00000480 | mtdblock: erase of region [0x40000, 0x20000] on "uImage" failed `---- I can confirm that Uwe's patched flash-kernel works. Short quote from the log: ,---- | flash-kernel: appending /usr/lib/linux-image-3.16.0-4-armmp/armada-370-netgear-rn102.dtb to kernel | Generating kernel u-boot image... done. | Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 20000 -- 2 % complete flash_erase: Skipping bad block at 00040000 | Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 5e0000 -- 100 % complete | Writing data to block 0 at offset 0x0 | Writing data to block 1 at offset 0x20000 | Writing data to block 2 at offset 0x40000 | Bad block at 40000, 1 block(s) from 40000 will be skipped | Writing data to block 3 at offset 0x60000 `---- -- Caution: Keep out of reach of children.
