I believe this is the correct syntax:

[root at M54418TWR /]# insmod ubi mtd=1,2048
UBI error: ubi_init: UBI error: cannot initialize UBI, error -19
insmod: cannot insert '/lib/modules/2.6.29/kernel/drivers/mtd/ubi/ubi.ko': No such device

Unfortunately, booting Linux the NAND flash is now detected bad, so I do not have an mtd1! what is the best way to try to recover? I do not understand how the flash can suddenly become bad!
