[ts-7000] 2.6 kernel on a CF for ts-7200

["boombacod" <>]

Hello everyone.  I have been trying (but failing) for the past week to boot a 
2.6 kernel off the Compact Flash card on my TS-7200 with 32MB of RAM.  The only 
thing I have succeeded at is using the CF as a root directory with the standard 
2.4 kernel by:
-Downloading the debian-sarge-256MB-05-01-2006.tar file from the website and 
installing on the CF
-Transfered the /lib/modules/2.4.26-ts11 directory from the onboard flash to 
the CF
-Changing my RedBoot config to:
fis load vmlinux
exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/hda1"

This was great until I realized that I need the 2.6 kernel.  I have searched 
this forum extensively and it seems that the tskernel-2.6.21-ts-src.tar.gz file 
on the website does not have IDE support, which inhibits reading from the CF. 

I thought I found a solution by finding a post that lead to this guys website:
http://jandmworks.com/ts7200.html

But...when I execute make using that linux-2.6.23-rc1 tar file and his config I 
get the following error:
CC      arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.s
arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.c:1  sorry, unimplemented: -mfloat-abi=hard and VFP

Can anyone lead me to a working 2.6 kernel or be of any help?  It doesn't 
matter if I need to boot directly from the CF using Redboot, or use the 
bootloader.o module from the onboard flash to execute a zImage file...I just 
need to get some form of a 2.6 kernel on a CF card.

Thanks,
Dan
