Interesting, all the kernels on ftp are *2k* or not , maybe your
custom kernel manages to auto-detect.
It's a shame TS never got 2.6 fully tested on 72xx platform. I guess
they decided it was more profitable to "ease" customers towards the
dearer 7800 board.
There's been quite a lot of effort here but each time I look it seems
not quite there and , like you, I really don't have time to get into
roll my own.
That was not why I bought a TS board with out-of-the-box OS. I need
to concentrate my efforts on applications specifics. Fun as it would
be to delve into kernel upgrades.
I'm intrigued by the NAND question since I can't imagine they go to
the
trouble of producing two kernels if one size fits all.
