Comment (by dwmw2):

 I've just been handed a machine in Quanta which seems to have a different
 problem. In this case, the kernel is reporting that it has corrected 1
 symbol error in various eraseblocks. No JFFS2 errors are reported by the
 kernel -- all errors are being fixed up by the ECC engine, as $DEITY
 intended.

 OpenFirmware (Q2C18) reports its strange 'Unsupported nodetype 2006' twice
 during the boot process. /openprom/built-on reports 0x013240d6, which I
 think means 2007-06-14, which would predate the commit which enabled error
 correction (
 http://git.infradead.org/?p=openfirmware.git;a=commitdiff;h=8a6574ac38a80fbc70e206dc688d2f7e9ac71d8b
 )

 If I update to the current OpenFirmware with all the tinfoil-hat stuff, is
 that going to break things when I'm booting from a USB disk (which needs
 extra delays added to make-root-hub-node) and testing a NAND flash which I
 keep erasing and running tests on?
