I found and solved the problem, at line 115 of drivers/mtd/chips/gen_probe.c
(kernel 2.6.24): mapsize value must be calculated in bytes, not in long.

max_chips = 1;
}
- mapsize = (max_chips + BITS_PER_LONG-1) / BITS_PER_LONG;
+ mapsize = sizeof(long) * ( (max_chips + BITS_PER_LONG-1) / BITS_PER_LONG );
chip_map = kzalloc(mapsize, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!chip_map) {
printk(KERN_WARNING "%s: kmalloc failed for CFI chip map\n", map->name);
