I just had a look at dmesg and there it says:

Does this mean the memory of my good old trusty N900 is getting faulty?
What can I do?

I guess your N900 runs as it should? It seems you have an initial bad block.

ECC errors is a normal phenomena on OneNAND and they happen quite often. Flash-aware file-systems like JFFS2 or UBIFS are able to handle them gracefully.
since ECC errors are supposed to be handled by upper level SW, we do not really have to print these messages, and we may consider them as debugging prints.
Do you recognize some problems? If not don't get scared about this message.
I advise you to save important data every week. Everything can die. Sometimes a reflash could wake up again.
