It speaks to our custom CaFE controller, via the "cafe_nand" kernel
module.

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.

Thanks for the link.  We should try passing rootdelay= in olpc.fth,
even though the problem doesn't seem too similar.
