OK, looks like you have converted to the fastboot method as described
here, right?
http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-linux-fastboot-ts7300.php
Standard TS-7260 boards use RedBoot AFAIK, but you are trying to boot
from the SD. There are no kernel messages displayed, so it seems to
be a problem even finding or reading the new kernel image. Did you
first write the TS fastboot SD image to the card?
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-images/sdimage.dd.bz2
Also, is this a standard SD card (less than 2G) or a SDHC card? I
don't believe the TS-SDBOOT ROM code can read SDHC cards.

Look over the fastboot page linked to above. There seems to be lots
of 7260 info that would apply to your case. For example, looks like
you have to have different kernel versions depending on flash size of
your 7260 (ie, nand-2k or not).
