That's wrong. The problem is in setting the command line in U-Boot.

In U-Boot:

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock0 mtdparts=armflash0:19232k@2C0000(cramfs)

and printenv will show the proper command line (without the '='
between mtdblock0 and mtdparts).

Also change 'armflash0' with 'armflash.0' if you use a 2.6.12 kernel.
