The TS boards do not have the correct machine ID that has been in the 
kernel sources since ... well, for a long time. There are two methods to 
fix this:

1) change the corresponding machine id in
$KERNELDIR/arch/arm/tools/mach-types from 673 (0x2A1) to 355 (0x163).

2) Slightly lengthier, but read the procedure at:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/4206

Follow what it says from 'What I did was ...'

You should also ensure that printk is compiled in when you're testing.

I have a kernel .config that you can use at:

http://vaiprime.visibleassets.com/~cfriedt/linux-2.6.20.6.config

It should be compatible option-wise with the 2.6.22 kernel.
