Try to boot with kernel locking enabled. I have seen jffs2 deadlocks on 
readdir. As far as I remember
with this patch it went through but I don't know anymore whether I have 
changed sth in config.

Have a look at (search engine...) [PATCH] fs: jffs2: Add setup code for 
spi nor flash.

Even with this patch I got some possible dead lock warnings so it might 
be just a partial cure. BTW it's
a bit scary for future use. Looks like jffs2 doesn't get enough care...
