HI,

you will note the second time arount it is not finding the initrd.

RedBoot> fis load vmlinux
RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00600000 -h 10.0.0.34 ts7260-sdcard-initrd-1.02.gz
Unable to reach host 10.0.0.34 (10.0.0.34)

so later when it tries to use it it fails :


RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 438K
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00

The first time it works:

RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00600000 -h 10.0.0.34 ts7260-sdcard-initrd-1.02.gz
Using default protocol (TFTP)
Raw file loaded 0x00600000-0x0066d8f7, assumed entry at 0x00600000


I don't use SD but that is what you need to sort out. Look at why it is not 
saying "using default protocol" the second time. May it is trying something 
else. Specify the protocol explicitly in the script.

Maybe , rather that the output, you could post your actual boot script as shown 
by 

RedBoot> fconfig -l

If you fsck the SD partition before booting and umount it cleanly does it boot 
OK? That's not a solution but it may help you see what's up.

HTH.
