I've been having the same problem with mine, but haven't been working on 
it. Now there is just now new kernel released, so that's worth a shot.

Well, from your logs the issue is happening after the systems has 
booted, (Kernel is done, and Dracut has already mounted the rootfs and 
passed control to init).

Try adding 'single' to your boot args to go directly to a root shell.
Try blacklisting the nand kernel module (as that's where it's failing if 
I'm reading it right)? As far as I know the DreamPlug has no nand flash.
