Thanks for the suggestion. I got the commands on RedBoot right. Now,
the kernel boots but hangs with some garbage characters. 

-------
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.1.104 zImage               
          
Using default protocol (TFTP)                                        
          
Raw file loaded 0x00218000-0x0034cc43, assumed entry at 0x00218000   
          
RedBoot> exec

--------- Hangs here

I did the following steps:
- patch as per the  patch_and_build script 
- run the ts7250_machine_id_fix.patch
- copied the 2.6.19.config_working_64MB config file to .config and
modified the following:
CONFIG_CMDLINE="console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1"
- copy zImage via tftp followed by exec

Any ideas where I might be going wrong ? I did the above on 2.6.19

thanks again,
