The default kernel does not have the driver for the NAND or YAFFS included.
I have some patches which add them, but they are designed for OpenWRT which
also adds a whole bunch of other patches as the IDT chips is not yet
included in the standard kernel either.
But of course the 532 does have a CF socket so you can always load onto that.
