Hi,
I  need to run linux 2.6 on TS7250. I have been following the instructions at this link .
http://www.embeddedarm.com/linux/kernel26-ts72xx.htm
However I've run into problem while Booting it through the linux bootload utility by TS.The following was what I did:
1)Downloaded and installed the cross-compiler from ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/ts-7800-linux-sd/cross-toolchains/ts7800-crosstool-linux-gnueabi-2005q3-2.tar.gz

2)Downloaded the 2.6 Kernel source tree
3) Edited the Makefile at the Kernel root dir to point to the appropriate cross-compiler path
3) typed "make ts72xx_defconfig"
4) typed "make"
The kernel was succussfully built (with some warnings), and found the zImage at arch/arm/boot
Wanted to use Linux Bootload to test boot with the new kernel:
5)Downloaded zImageonto the board and  inserted the module bootloader.o (insmod -f bootloader.o)
6)Typed : $> bootload -c "console=ttyAM01,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1" zImage
7)This started flashing the normal bootup messages, utill it hit the kernel panic stating that "Cannot open root device "mtdblock1" as shown below:

end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock1, sector 2
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock1, sector 2
EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock1, sector 0
FAT: unable to read boot sector
VFS: Cannot open root device "mtdblock1" or unknown-block(31,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,1)

Could anyone let me know how could I resolve this ?Am I missing some step?
