Thank you Jaan for helping  and inspiring me to try new kernel!
I am using kernel 2.6.35 now, I am not using on board NAND now.  In fact I 
don't even use on board SD card after linux bootup, as I mount NFS in my server 
as root file system.
   
That's right, I use the similar change from TS72XX.
This is  how I add three lines (starting #ifdef) to head.S:

        beq     __error_p                       @ yes, error 'p'
#ifdef CONFIG_MACH_TS78XX
        ldr     r1, =0x00000674                 @ TS-7800 = 0x674
#endif
        bl      __lookup_machine_type           @ r5=machinfo

I boot to full linux kerenl directly (no busybox) from SD card, mount NFS as 
root file system. 

This is my boot NFS as root file system CMDLINE in .config file, set it using 
"make gconfig" :  

root=/dev/nfs rw init=/sbin/init 
nfsroot=192.168.0.151:/home/karl/NFS_SHARED/rootfs_ts7800,nolock ip=dhcp 
console=ttyS0,115200n8
