The Samsung Galaxy S bootloader apparently expects the kernel to be flashed to BML-managed flash - bad erase blocks will be mapped from a reservoir area.
CWM however just skips bad blocks, the usual procedure for mtd-accessed flash.
Consequently, the bootloader sees a corrupt zImage, and will usually crash when the kernel initializes.
This of course will only happen when the "boot" partition has bad blocks.
This patch was written by "eifert" and adds a tool called "bml_over_mtd" for flashing boot images which takes care of bad blocks and maps them to a reservoir area, like BML does.

Detect flash type at runtime rather than requiring this to be set in the
device configuration. The detection is based on the existence of /proc/mtd,
/proc/emmc, or /dev/block/bml1.
