redirect(base_url().'admin/login');

In My view

echo  '<span>'.$this->session->flashdata('login_error').'</span>';

are you storing the session in a cookie or into the database? — Haso Keric, Nov 01 '12 at 23:45
Also do you have GZIP (Compression) enabled in your config.php ? — Haso Keric, Nov 01 '12 at 23:45

I solved my problem.There was some issue with ie and chrome cookie management.

I change the 'sess_cookie_name' in config from 'ci_session' to 'cisession'

and sess_expiration from 7200 to 84200 and it got fixed.

Just to keep in mind, the flashdata works better with a `refresh` redirection instead of `location` – manix Nov 02 '12 at 15:58

I was able to solve the problem by setting:

$config['sess_use_database']= FALSE;
$config['sess_cookie_name']= 'cisession';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 84200;
