GSM Firmware Flashed, now UBIFS problem and Kernel Panic

Thu Apr 14 18:30:57 CEST 2011

Hi,
to mount a ubifs you should give another way a try:
cat /proc/mtd
ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 6 -d 0 -O 2048
mkdir /tmp/qtmoko
mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /tmp/qtmoko/
I found this at the ubuntu-wiki, a nice source for all linux-related questions
(as far they are not openmoko-specific - of course!)
Good luck
