I seem to be having the same problem with a USB flash driver from the TS-7250 
dev kit.  My board was purchased well before my devKit (I included boot output 
identifying versions at the end).  Following the instructions in the "Linux for 
ARM on TS 72XX User's Guide" jul 2008, section "5.2 Flash Memory Cards/ USB 
Flash Drives", I do the following.

1.  Plug in Dev Kit provided Flash Drive.
2.  Power on System.
3.  Enter loadUSBModules.sh
4.  Enter loadUSB.sh
       During the last part of excution I get:
        Could not load host key: /etc/ssh
        /ssh_host_dsa_key                              
        Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host
        key sshd: no hostkeys available
       --exiting.                                         
       Starting NFS common utilities:
       statd.                                           
       Starting periodic command scheduler:  
       cron.                                      
       Starting web server: apache-ssl
       failed                                          
       Press enter for
       maintenance (or type Control-D to continue):     
5.  At this point I enter CTRL-D.
         After typing "uname -r" I get.
         $ uname -r
         2.4.26-ts11 
The initial portion of my boot is as follows:
