           Summary: zaurus-clamshells.conf generates defective jffs2 image
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: manuel.teira at telefonica.net
         QAContact: tinderbox-oe at gmx.net


Regular (non summary) jffs2 image is generated without args like --eraseblock.
In my Husky, trying to boot with that image, produces just a lot of:

jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found.

errors. Kernel (linux-2.6.20-rp) eventually panics complaining about not
finding init.

Summary images neither boot. No jffs2_scan_eraseblock errors, but kernel panics
not finding init.

Changing IMAGE_CMD_jffs2 in zaurus-clamshells.conf to pass EXTRA_IMAGECMD to
the mkfs.jffs2 command, seems to fix it. But now, summary image is bigger
(around 31Mb). I've tried to flash the summary image, and progress dots in the
flashing screen (updater.sh) goes further the 100% mark. I was able to boot
with this image, but the machine eventually hungs (not sure if the problem is
the image itself).

I'm adding a patch for zaurus-clamshells.conf, but not sure if the way to
generate the summary image is right.
