I know of the MTD driver yes, I did actually disable it in my kernel that I built using openwrt 'doh'. Could you give me more information int his regard?
I also don`t know that much about it,sorry. At one point i used an openwrt squashfs? image and that worked but was missing some drivers.
What flash is being used though, something from the board? Or is the IDE disk used as an MTD device?
As far as i know the flashboard is a MTD device. You have to be careful with write access for the operating system because the write and erase cycles are limited. It is not an real ide disk.
I get a message from the pata_cs5536 driver that IDE is disabled by the bios; and of course no option to enable it.
I use linux kernel 2.6.24 witch is the only one i found that works with the flashboard with ide driver.(maybe a bug in 2.6.24?) I wil send you my config. I use it on a 2.5` laptop hdd connected to the ide port. I wil also send you a working version of coreboot + seabios you can play with. It is configured for ide. You wil need the geode video driver in the kernel to see something. Or you could use a serial connection. Beware there are some issues most notably loading fallback/coreboot_ram takes ~35 seconds so you have to be a little patience while booting.
