This message comes either, if you try to erase a bad block, which is not 
likely, as all your blocks would be bad or the erasefunction is not 
successful

Do you use the latest CVS code ?
If yes, there were a lot of changes in NAND the last few days. 

Can you switch on the debugging in MTD and provide more detailed information. 
Please do a 
echo 9 >/proc/sys/kernel/printk 
before you start the erase .
