I have tried both hh39 and hh41 and am unable to mount /dev/mtdblock/2.

It always seems to do the same thing:
root_at_h3900:~# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/2 /mnt/flash
mount: Mounting /dev/mtdblock/2 on /mnt/flash failed: Invalid argument

If I load mtdchar and use the mtd-utils, it doesn't get any better:
root_at_h3900:~# flash_info /dev/mtd/2
Device /dev/mtd/2 has 0 erase regions

root_at_h3900:~# flash_eraseall /dev/mtd/2
flash_eraseall: /dev/mtd/2: MTD get bad block failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I am trying out hh37.6 to see if I can get to the partition. If I have
any status I'll report.
