You are telling the kernel to use a RAM disk as root. This is the line
I use to boot 2.6:
exec -c \"console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1 rootfstype=yaffs
init=/sbin/init

Still, you need to re write the filesystem with a 2.6 kernel. I boot
from the network with an NFS filesystem, mount the NAND and unpack
tslinux again (in fact I'm using busybox 1.13... so not exaclty
TSLinux)

You will also need to create the devices under /dev or use mdev as
devfs is no longer available in 2.6 kernels.
