    Hello Jamey.
          I figured what the problem was. Apparently in the bootldr
    somewhere we are reseting the flashes (i don't know exactly where) when
    i reboot/reset, the bootldr is not reseting the second flash and hence
    is not able to read any files from the second flash. I added code in the
    main function of bootldr to reset the second flash explicitly, and now
    it works. This solution is valid only for the kind of memory
    architecture i have and should not affect the ipaq's.

    Thx,
    Mayank
