Hello Kailash,

I have a ts7260 and I am a newbie, so you should double check any information I 
present.

I am assuming that the 512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd image was something 
you got from the embeddedarm ftp site.  If that is the case, and this image was 
intended for sd cards on the 7400 with 2.6.29 eabi kernel, then what you need 
is tssdcard.ko kernel module for 2.6.29.  You need to then load a 2.6.29 kernel 
from your boot loader with an initrd which has the tssdcard.ko.  The initrd 
must be set-up to load the tssdcard.ko driver, recognize the sd card, mount it, 
chroot, and continue booting.  That's the way I understand it for the 7260 
anyway, which has redboot.  Normally what you do is tftp the kernel and the 
initrd from a host machine until you have everything nailed down with your t's 
crossed and i's dotted then you update the flash on the board with the new 
kernel and initrd to make everything happen automatically on power on.

Somebody please come along and tell me I'm wrong.

This whole post is a mystery to me because I am not personally aware that an 
sdcard driver existed for a 2.6.29 eabi kernel for the ts 7xxx machines.  
Somebody please tell me where to get it!  (probably has been right in front of 
my face)
