Re: bootldr 2.15.6: how do I boot?

Thanks for the help! Many thanks to Andrew Christian and Jamey Hicks too.

Finally 2.15.6 worked fine.
As Christian Andrew correctly wrote I had to do:
kernel_partition = "kernel"
boot_type = "flash"
autoboot_kernel_part = "kernel"

I also had to change my linuxargs. Instead of:
set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock/3 init=/linuxrc console=ttySA0"

I had to use:
set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock/2 init=/linuxrc console=ttySA0"

Now I boot, but I get this message just before / is mounted:
jffs2_scan_inode_node(): Data CRC failed on node at 0x0021bef8: Read 0xf1aaf312, calculated 0xb76510e5
But I just ignore it since everything works. If I shouldn't ignore it, plz
let me know.

Thanks again!
M.
