And especially for adding the empty line to ubiboot.log! (makes it way easier to read )
Sometimes the small changes&fixes are the neatest

you have modified the G_global vars to be named according to the OS slot (and not anymore names). BUT the symlinks in /mnt are still named according to the OS names (e.g. G_OS1_NAME="Nitdroid", but G_OS1_1_FILE="/boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage.pr13")?
As you compiled all into the kernel and did not put the ubifs.tar online, I cannot see the available symlinks. Or are they created on the fly (according to G_OS1_NAME)? Would you please be so kind and give more info here? Or put sources online?
This time I anticipated you on this
The symlinks are indeed created in init from the conf variables.
You can download the latest source snapshot tarball from the sources directory on either Swagman swagman or Skeiron. (latest is called animatronics_03102013.tar)

The RAMFS source is under the ubifs/ directory in the tarball, this is the complete seed for the FS that gets created in kernel compile.

I also host the complete source tree on my svn server at https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/animatronics which of course has the up-to-date sources, includeing this latest correction I made this morning. However the bandwidth for that server is not very large so you might not want to clone that... (full checkout will take some minutes)
