yes. this part:
UBI: background thread "ubi_bgt0d" started, PID 492
   ubiblka: unknown partition table
   ubiblkb: unknown partition table
   ubiblkc: unknown partition table
   ubiblkd: unknown partition table
   ubiblke: unknown partition table
i'm working with kernel3.10 but i was having similar issues until i 
started creating the img with "-F". I don't remember the exact error i 
got but i think it was also something on mount or first write issued to 
device.
