problem mounting a jffs2 filesystem

["Miguel Blanco" <mblancom@gmail.com>]

Hello,

 Trying to mount a jffs2 file system in my desktop PC:
 ...
 $ modprobe mtdram total_size=6144 erase_size=128
 $ modprobe mtdblock
 ...
 $ dd if=fw.wsw of=data.jffs2 ibs=1 obs=1M count=5888K skip=6292872
 $ jffs2dump -b -c -e data-le.jffs2 data.jffs2
 $ dd if=data-le.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0
 $ mkdir data
 $ mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 data

 I get a mount error:
     "2942 Violación de segmento" (in spanish and "segment violation"
in english :-) )

 and dmesg says (relevant part I think):

 divide error: 0000 [#1]

 this is with Fedora 4 kernel 2.6.15-1.1830 (and later kernels).
2.6.14.1.1656 is OK!

 I know is a vendor kernel, but the 2.6.15 ChangeLog contains a lot of
changes related
 to mtd devices and jffs2 filesystems, so I think it could be a mainline bug.

 Let me know if you need more information.

 Thank you,
 Miguel.
