Hello Andreas,

I'm not sure of the origin of this glitch, but there appears to be 2 
possible fixes:

1) change the corresponding machine id in 
$KERNELDIR/arch/arm/tools/mach-types from 673 (0x163) to 355 (0x163). 
Note this will make your kernel unusable (according to Lennart) on other 
platforms.

2) modify redboot.bin as obtained from ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com in the 
file ts7200-8MBflash-update.zip, and overwrite the redboot on your 
board. (this is a bit trickier, but instructions exist in the zip)

"Note: If you are using Redboot.bin from ts7200-8MBflash-update.zip, you
can patch the Machine ID (dword) at offset 0xAF0."
(subj. "2.6 derevo18 patch", 06/20/06)


I've only tried the first of these, and that works out reasonably well.

I'm currently also trying to establish a useful 2.6 kernel, and have 
applied the yaffs patch to my kernel, so that I could hopefully read the 
fs, however, I lack the udev init routines, so none of the devices are 
populated upon boot. Normally, i would fix this problem by booting into 
an NFS root, but at the moment, I'm in Germany and without my normal 
network gear.

Good luck!
