any help, or pointer to push forward............

Are you sure Supervivi for 128M works for 256M (I think I have heard it
does, but you need to check this)?

Are you sure that root_qtopia_128M works without modification on a 256M
board?

Have you checked:

I read in a document from friendlyArm.net that use 128M files for any NAND
size greater than or equal to 128M. and tested it also. I was successful
when I downloaded all 128M images from frendlyArm website. Kernel Panic
reported when I am trying to add a new zImage.

Thanks for providing some links. I will go through them and would try those
instructions.

Thanks,
Trinath

To clarify:

when you make your own zImage it won't work.

Have you searched <2.6.32.2> using the left hand search button?

I came to the conclusion that the .config file used to compile the kernel
off the website and the one ACTUALLY used to build the zImage on the
website were different.  But, I am no expert.
