You must learn to be  more  precise.  Please  pay  attention  to  all
details, may they be little or not.

This is wrong. This does not create a JFFS filesystem.

It creates a JFFS2 filesystem, which is something different.

Also, the name "ram.img" is misleading at best.

What should that be good for? There is no use  in  adding  a  mkimage
wrapper around a filesystem image.

This is wrong again. Since you created a JFFS2 image, your filesystem
type is NOT jffs. It is jffs2.

Why don't you try working on ONE configurtation only,  and  get  this
running? Fighting a war on two or more fronts is not that easy.
