I'll be glad to grab the zip file if you can post a link?
Currently I have my TS-7800 booting off 2.6.32, source package came from Debian
Squeeze same as running on my other ARM9 kit (Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo,
GlobalScale OpenRD). Kernel was natively compiled on my OpenRD - I cross
compile only if I'm in desperate need to bootstrap.

Linux version 2.6.32-flcl (2.6.32) (gcc version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.

I'm still working on the overall system config but currently I'm booting the
kernel off an SD partition directly into Debian Squeeze on a SATA HDD. So far
so good, NAND flash access via MTD driver seems OK. SD card support isn't there
although MMC/SD support is compiled in - I may need SD support for system
recovery/upgrade support (leveraging TS's "unbrickable design"). Must say it's
been funny working on an ARM9 box with such a stripped down, basic bootloader
but yet it's effective provided one preps a new SD card first with the TS 446
byte boot code.
Once I'm happy, I'll publish my config and related notes.
cheers
Matt
