To boot in EABI, you need an EABI distribution. You can keep the same kernel 
(which support OABI and EABI), and the same initrd (which is OABI, but you 
don't care). The OS rootfs itself though, need to be in EABI. You can either 
take the one provided by TS:

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7390-linux/distributions/debian-lenny-eabi-armel-512mb-apr092009.tar.gz

Which don't include X, and you can't really get it working without any help 
from TS, which they don't gives. For QT/Embedded seems some peps got it working 
though, I tried without luck. (uic crash halfway the build process).

But, you will probably have some LIBC version mismatch between the libs offered 
by TS, the libs you download with apt-get and the libs in your cross-compiler. 
Enough to scream like baby getting his candy stolen.

You can also follow this guide:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/15512
And create a crosstool (which is probably the one you got you talked about) and 
compile every single libs to create your our linux distribution from scratch, 
which I also tried, and nearly got it to work, but had to copy my libs over the 
TS debian.

Still waiting for anyone to gives me some way to get X working on an EABI 
distrib....
