I remounted the Ubuntu machine with nandsim and only used a single
partition. This gets rid of the 'print_rsvd_warning'. However, the
image still can not be mounted on the PC with ubifs (UBI has fast map).
I recompiled my Linux 2.6.36 without Linux and used a 'nandwrite' and
'tftp' from an initramfs to reproduce the image on another device. The
2.6.36 patched kernel mount it after correcting some errors. However,
as the 'bad blocks' are different between devices, I may have missed
some data and this made it work.
Fwiw,
Bill Pringlemeir.
