Hi,

I tried but the kernel can't read the redboot partition table, I don't
know why. -1 I think is the right value. I bypassed the problem
writing the flash partitions by hand inside ts72xx.c file with an 
"uboot approach". Is there someone is using a kernel 2.6 with ts-7200?
Does the redboot support really work?

Thanks.
