I've removed some UBI debug after max_posedon request and those 2
success stories..

With disabled BGT it seems a bit better also here.

Today I successfully booted ubifs rootfs with Qi too (I'm using 2.6.32,
max_posedon seems happy with standard shr kernel - 2.6.29-rc3). 2.6.32
won't suspend yet (WSOD) but its imho a bit faster.

just after few steps:

1) booting 2.6.32 kernel on uSD
http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/2.6.32/images/om-gta02/
download uImage to /boot 
download modules and untar it to /
update uImage link in /boot

2) flash image
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd6
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd6 shr-full-eglibc-ipk--20100105-om-gta02.rootfs.ubi
(almost the same ubinized image will finish build in few mins as
http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/shr-full-eglibc-ipk--20100105-om-gta02.rootfs.ubi)

3) then test if it works 
ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -O 2048 -m 6
mount -t ubifs ubi0:om-gta02-rootfs /media/om
ls /media/om

3) update Qi with dfu-util
qi built here
http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/ 
is still using jffs2 in kernel params
but you can you binary from here
http://jama.homelinux.org/org.openembedded.shr.images/om-gta02/qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr0+c38b062a609f1442e6a9e13005cfbdfd59a5ac0d.udfu
or build Qi yourself with bitbake from latest shr/merge branch + this patch:
http://jama.homelinux.org/org.openembedded.shr.images/om-gta02/0014-qi-update-kernel-params-for-ubi-rootfs.patch

4) flash 2.6.32 also to NAND

5) boot it, test it, play with it

max_posedon provided some bonnie++ results from UBI, please run bonnie++
on jffs2 if you have jffs2 partition (bonnie++ is now in shr-unstable feeds).
