    Sounds like it, yes. The asset partition should have been saved by
    BootBlaster when you originally installed. However, the asset
    information is not especially significant to Linux, so there is no need
    to restore it unless and until you reinstall PocketPC on that machine.

    It appears that the bootldr is not managing to pass partition
    information into Linux for some reason, and the kernel is falling back
    to its compiled-in defaults. Do you have "mtdparts=..." in the kernel
    command line as reported by dmesg?
