Hi,

I am trying to use kernel 2.6.29 on my TS-7400.  I downloaded the image from

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7400-linux/binaries/ts-images/512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd.bz2

and used dd to write the unzipped image to my SD card.  I followed the 
directions at

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/15901

to enable sdboot instead of flash boot.  I am able to boot using TS-SDBOOT, but 
when I attempt to boot into the 2.6.29 kernel, the boot process hangs at 
"Setting the system clock."  In the TS-SDBOOT prompt I attempted to query the 
hwclock, but this also hangs.

Am I missing something obvious to enable the hwclock?

Here is the output from a standard start-up:

=====================================================

Type 'tshelp' for help
/ # exit

At this point the console receives no more information for several minutes.

Here is output from a call to hwclock hanging:
