If it's anything more than a couple of tweaks I'd be inclined to forget the TS
stuff and do a system from scratch.
Am I right in thinking there's no closed source complications with CF driver?
The only thing you don't have source for is TS-Bootrom.
With Matt's patches I've had both 2.6.29 and 2.6.32 working fine on 7250 and a
minimalistic system similar to TSlinux. TS7200 should not be too different
beyond a couple of kernel .config changes.
MAX197 working with Jim's adc_logger , platform driver and Phil McCarl's /dev
driver.
If you can work out what is needed for 7200 I'd like to post a recent kernel
that can boot 7200/7250/7260
