Uploading problem in OSK5912

[naga rajan]

Dear Nishanth,



                        I followed up  the steps in the mail what u have
sent for my query. I went through the documentation and copied the
filesystem to the flash. I m using the kernel 2.4.20-8.While mounting the
filesystem to */mnt/flash*, the following error occurred.



*mount fs type jffs2 not supported by the kernel.*



            In the OSK5912 guide, it is mentioned to use redhat 7/9.Could
you tell me the way to get jffs2 for kernel 2.4.20-8 or any changes to be
done to get the solution for the above problem? Waiting for your positive
reply.



Thanks and regards….

B.Nagarajan,

SANDS.
