That's not the problem, then. Is mtd support enabled? (both the general
MTD driver and the flash chip drivers)?
You could try the config that works for me:
http://murli.34sp.com/o/ep93xx-eth/lvf-config-2.6.24
Also, there's a compiled binary for a quick test:
http://murli.34sp.com/o/ep93xx-eth/zImage-lvf-2.6.24
Be aware that 2.6 doesn't work with the 2.4 root fs, because TS uses
devfs which is no longer included in 2.6. There's a root fs too (created
using ptxdist): http://murli.34sp.com/o/ep93xx-eth/root-2.6.tgz
I would boot via NFS first and mount the onboard flash. Only if you can
read and write safely, you can format the flash and extract the 2.6
filesystem:
flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
mount /dev/mtdblock1 /mnt -t yaffs
cd /mnt
tar xzf /path/to/root-2.6.tgz
Pitfall: you have to extract the tarball as root (also on the NFS
server), otherwise the device nodes can't be created. Also, if you've
never used nfsroot before, you have to install an NFS server on your
Linux box and add the following line to /etc/exports:
/your/nfsroot/dir 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure)
Then, boot with the following command line:
"ip=192.168.0.50 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=<your ip>:/your/nfsroot/dir"

No, it is only needed for the 128 MB version.
