That sounds like the kernel doesn't have the right MTD modules
built-in. What kernel were you running when this happened? Did
/dev/mtdblock3 exist?

So at this point you had already written the jffs2 image to flash?
Which method did you use (LAB or flash_eraseall/nandwrite)?

These -2 errors mean "No such file or directory." Strange--that sounds
like it's not detecting your flash memory. I wonder if you have
different flash chips in your h2200, and they aren't being seen? Would
you send me full dmesg output from boot? That will help me to see if
the flash is being detected.

The "flash_eraseall" or "erasemtd" does the erasing/formatting.

You're welcome!
