Does booting from an SD card look different?

I guess you'll have to try to copy a new kernel and initrd to the onboard flash 
from the SD card (command 'createmtdboot'). If that doesn't help, try 
'createmtdroot' to copy all SD card contents to onboard flash.

I think that it has happened to me too, and I have got out of this situation by 
using a 512 MB SD card as a backup booting possibility. Then I used 
createmtdroot to recreate the flash file system, then everything worked again.

If you had important data on the onboard flash, you could try to mount 
/dev/mtdblock3 in Busybox and copy some data to an SD card or a USB drive.

The SD card images can be copied from
 ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7800-linux/binaries/ts-images/
Then, on a Linux PC, dd if=(unpacked 512 MB SD image, dd file) of=(SD card 
device like /dev/sdb)

Hope some of this helps.
