[U-Boot] UBIFS fails on SheevaPlug

[Dimax]

HI,
I have managed to build latest image and apply MALLOC patch.
After that system is fully working:

UBIFS: recovery needed
UBIFS: recovery deferred
UBIFS: mounted UBI device 0, volume 0, name "rootfs"
UBIFS: mounted read-only
UBIFS: file system size:   515708928 bytes (503622 KiB, 491 MiB, 3997 LEBs)
UBIFS: journal size:       25804800 bytes (25200 KiB, 24 MiB, 200 LEBs)
UBIFS: media format:       w4/r0 (latest is w4/r0)
UBIFS: default compressor: LZO
UBIFS: reserved for root:  5182151 bytes (5060 KiB)

If someone need u-boot image I can provide it
