Default buildroot kernel is fine (>= 2.6.25 at least, maybe later). However the current checked-in ubifs root uses an old version of mkfs.ubifs which generates an old format. I don't think it will work with any released kernel. You need the patches submitted by Michael Roth this week. We should get them committed to buildroot very soon. The ubi-2.6.git and ubifs-2.6.git trees are either old work or future development work, but the stuff in the released kernel is stable. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB
