Hm... maybe you could include a bit more of he boot log, for example,
it would have been useful  to  read  theother  messages  of  the  MTD
drivers  that  preceeded  these  lines, and there might have been any
error messages following these lines?

Why don't you use command line partitioning and the mtdparts  command
in  U-Boot?  This  is more flexible as you don't have to rebuild your
linux kernel just to change the partition map...

Best regards,
