I am running uclinux 2.6.x on a freescale 5275 board. I recently removed an item from inittab (net-snmp).
After doing so netflash has developed an error where it fails claiming "ioctl(MEMERASE) failed, errno=5" If I re-insert net-snmp OR ANY OTHER program back into inittab, then netflash works just fine. When netflash is failing I can still successfully eraseall the partition that I am targeting without issue (and any other partition for that matter). I have also noticed that when netflash is working that it umounts both a /dev/mtdblock AND the ramfs, however when it is not working I see either NO umount messages OR a umount of only the ramfs IF I happen to execute the netflash command out of the /ver/tmp directory. I would like to say that I suspect XYZ, however I am at a total loss of even how to start troubleshooting this. The whole file system seems to work as usual, I see no odd behavior in anything that I do, except when I try to upgrade the image. If it is a flash chip issue, then why would adding a program to inittab fix anything? I have never noticed any oddities before in regard to flash operations. Anyhow, any ideas are greatly appreciated as I am at a total loss here. Thanks for your time, Nunya
