I'm using the 2.6.10 kernel on a custom circuit board based on Freescales MCF5485evb evaluation board. My board has different flash memory than the evaluation board and so requires different flash drivers than the BSP that was provided with the board.
The flash memory I am using is the Intel P33 (256P33B) NOR flash. I have two chips with the chip selects tied to the same logic line. The chips are on the Flexbus of the Coldfire processor (MCF5484). I'm able to work with the flash fine in the boot loader (Colilo) after porting the driver template from Intel into it. My question is how do I configure MTD to work with this. I've set the beginning address and the size. This is CFI complient flash. I've set a chip interleave of 2 with a 32 bit bus. As the kernel is booting I keep getting the message:

I can look at /proc/mtd and it shows the two areas listed above. However if I try to mount the mtdblock device the mounting fails. The "gen_probe: No supported Vendor Command Set found" message is obviously critical but with this being a CFI device how can that be? Is it because the chip selects are tied together?
Kinda stuck here. Any help/suggestions much appreciated!!
