bootlin kernel doesn't boot from UBIFS

1

Following bootlin embedded linux course and faced an issue (similar to UBI layout volume not found but my problem is further than original one)

I am creating rootfs and data volume images:

mkfs.ubifs -d ./www/upload -o ../data.ubifs -e 124KiB -m 2048 -c 66
mkfs.ubifs -d ./ -o ../rootfs.ubifs -e 124KiB -m 2048 -c 66

Then ubinize all that stuff via config:

[dtb-volume]
peb=0x20000
min_io_size=0x800
mode=ubi
image=at91-sama5d3_xplained.dtb
vol_id=0
vol_size=128KiB
vol_type=static
vol_name=dtb
vol_alignment=1

[kernel-volume]
peb=0x20000
min_io_size=0x800
mode=ubi
image=zImage
vol_id=1
vol_size=5MiB
vol_type=static
vol_name=kernel
vol_alignment=1

[rootfs-volume]
peb=0x20000
min_io_size=0x800
mode=ubi
image=rootfs.ubifs
vol_id=2
vol_size=8MiB
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=rootfs
vol_alignment=1

[data-volume]
peb=0x20000
min_io_size=0x800
mode=ubi
image=data.ubifs
vol_id=3
vol_size=8MiB
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=data
vol_alignment=1

ubinize -o ubi.img -p 128KiB -m 2048 config

Then loading the image via tftp:

Have tried several times but kernel still breaks at start, could you advise what's wrong?

UPD:

So current state rootfs issue:

ubi0 error: ubi_read_volume_table: the layout volume was not found
ubi0 error: ubi_attach_mtd_dev: failed to attach mtd4, error -22

If I boot linux from sdcard mtd devices are not mounted also, only kernel appears at some level but still with issues:

<<<< I have tried 5 also as kernel param

I am wondering is it an issue with still kernel params as UBI_IOCATT: Invalid argument suggests or UBIFS itself is in a wrong way formatted?

wrong bootloader, I remade flash layout (bootstrap + correct bootloader), might be also something was corrupted
