Hard to say ... here an extract of your debug log:

UBI DBG io (pid 1): read 509 bytes from PEB 1059:10040
UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 0): ubifs_check_node: bad magic 0x61018ce, expected 0x6101831

Here begin your problem ... for some reasons you do not read the
correct magic number ... I tend to say some problem with your nand
driver and/or io functions, maybe cache setup? Sorry, more I cannot say ...

UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 0): ubifs_check_node: bad node at LEB 417:9912
Not a node, first 24 bytes:UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 0): ubifs_read_node: expected node type 1
UBIFS DBG tnc: key (67, data, 4679)
UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 0): do_readpage: cannot read page 4679 of inode 67, error -117
Error reading file 'rfsw-image_ramdisk.itb'
UBI DBG gen (pid 1): close device 0, volume 0, mode 1

bye,
Heiko
