(Ignore the machine-id, im using a modified version of the kb9202 files to
boot my custom hardware.)

Now i've a conclussion, the first "eraseblock" message is this one:

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00223ae4:
0x2001 instead

The address is 0x00223ae4, and my rootfs image size is 0x00223ae4 so it is
dropping errors from the
free (ie: non-flashed) area of the rootfs partition.

 My buildroot configuration creates a 0x00223ae4 bytes long jffs2 image, but
my rootfs MTD partition is bigger
 so the free space reamins "unflashed"/dirty, any idea?

 I'm using the last svn version of Buildroot, with my custom config. Does it
help if i post my .config file?

 Thanks for your help.
