However, when mounting same rootfs via NFS, I don't see this problem (though I do have other issues). Does the error E/dalvikvm-gc( 483): Could not create 176128-byte ashmem mark stack indicate a specific problem? Might there be a way to dump more specific/verbose output at startup to get a better understanding of what's wrong?
