It may be problem of the MTD partition config. 

You should try out Initramfs on a new board first. The rootfs is linked into kernel.

Then you can modify the MTD config, mount jffs2 etc. Chech the prior post from marc.

I have put the uClinux via the microtronix Windows tools onto it - and when I get that message I ignore it and manually check to see if the image is less than 2Mb. If it is - it usually works. 

 

However I highly recommend hippo's buildroot system system using Linux - once set up it is much easier to use / customise and understand than the pre built system.
