What EXACTLY did you configure?

Did you keep the setting of HAVE_REDUND?  And  is  does  your  system
really use redundand flash sectors?

Did you keep the definition of CONFIG_FILE? and what does your config
file contain?

Misconfiguration. I think you left the "#define HAVE_REDUND"  in  the
header  file  but  use only a simple (non-redundand) flash sector; or
you forgot to remove the CONFIG_FILE or to adapt your config file.
