Keep getting these oops on 2.6.22-{rc4,rc5}. Once it stayed and didn't
go away until I booted a 2.6.20 kernel and swapped back afterwards to
2.6.22-rcX.

I get these traces on boot too:
jffs2_scan_eraseblock():
Node at 0x02c87e44 {0x1985, 0xe002, 0x00000006) has invalid CRC 0x4a400110 (calculated 0x3c3d0282)
...
jffs2_scan_eraseblock():
Node at 0x06997cac {0x1985, 0xc002, 0x00000006) has invalid CRC 0x4a400110 (calculated 0x3c3d0282)
...
jffs2_scan_eraseblock():
Node at 0x073617c4 {0x1985, 0xe002, 0x00000006) has invalid CRC 0x08410102 (calculated 0x3c3d0282)

To repeat, boot a JFFS2 root fs enabled board, do reboot -f
Repeat few times.

Don't have time to track this down ATM as I have to find a few other bugs in our 2.6.20
kernel. I do think JFFS2 is broken in 2.6.22 though
