Thanks, 

I followed the instructions provided and it works. i Got 2.6 kernel without USB 
support. By the way, any progress in getting USB on?
                                                            

Anyway, i finally got:
Linux ts7000 2.6.21-ts #5 PREEMPT Thu Jan 8 10:17:26 MST 2009 armv4tl GNU/Linux 

The most tricky part was upgrading the bootloader. I am gonna rewrite the steps 
in case someone else need it.

Step 1. Upgrade the bootloader.
a) Download the tsbootrom-update utility 
(ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/binaries/ts-utils/tsbootrom-update)

b) Copy the downloaded file where you are running linux in your TS board. I was 
running 2.6 kernel using NTS, i copied the file in a NTS folder. If you are 
running 2.4 kernel in your SD card, use the SD card.

c) Obtain TS board MAC address . you can use the command:
 ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | cut -d' ' -f11

d) run tsbootrom
tsbootrom-update -s -m YOUR_MAC_ADDRESS

Step 2. Prepare your SD Card 
(http://nuclear.unh.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_up_an_SD_card_to_boot_from)

a) Get a 512mb image from technologic, such as 
512mbsd-7400-linux26-etch-oabi.dd. 
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7400-linux/binaries/ts-images/ has 
these images. 

b) dd if=512mbsd-7400-linux26-etch-oabi.dd of=/dev/mmcblk0


Step 3.
Your board will start in the new bootloader. You must say it to use the SD card 
for booting
a) ln -sf /linuxrc-sdroot /linuxrc
