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.

update map in the file linux-2.6.x/drivers/mtd/maps/altera.c

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.
