I'm trying to make new directories, create files, save

are not being saved.  I'm sorry if this is vague, but
I haven't run into this problem before in previous
kernels.  I'm using 2.6.25 and my configuration is
very similar to mpc8313erdb_defconfig, with changes to
include NAND support as my flash device is a NAND. 
Also, my dts is very similar to mpc8313erdb.dts as
well.  I don't know where to start looking for the
problem as there is no error.  Here is what is printed
on boot.

Try head-of-tree; there have been several fixes to the eLBC FCM NAND driver.
