The part that has me most confused is that the specific error
message we get from mount should only ever appear if jffs2 is not in
/proc/filesystems, which should only ever happen if the kernel module
wasn't loaded. The kernel module obviously is loaded sometimes, since
boot works sometimes, but somehow not on the failing boots. I wonder
what's responsible for loading it; whether it's the initrd scripts or
mount itself that calls modprobe jffs2.
If you install the nash package (if its not there anyway) there's a
lsinitrd command that gives you the contents of the initrd package
including the initrd script that's run. Maybe there's been a change in
the order of the script or something.
