Did fastboot ever work for you with the stock kernel?

Well, that's quite a bit further than before. Something must have
changed to allow you to get further ... any idea what?

Is that the right location for your rootfs? I'm not sure what the
device is supposed to be (I'm not using SD or 2.4), but didn't you
copy your kernel image to partition 1 of the SD card?

Good, looks like the SD card driver is working and finds the card. Is
that number of sectors right?

Can you replace your custom kernel with the stock TS kernel, and boot
using your same methods as above? If it boots, dump the log somewhere
and compare it to the boot log above. Also, a diff of the config
files (yours and stock TS-11) may give some clues.
