Ian, thank you SO MUCH for your help.  I have never come across that 
step in all of my reading.  I copied the modules from the rebuilt kernel 
into the initrd partition on the SD card and was able to boot to it!  I 
still receive the version magic warning about ts7400, but I wasn't sure 
what driver to copy over to resolve that one.  For others who may be 
having problems booting an SD card image with a rebuilt kernel, I 
followed these steps:

[1] Mounted the SD card partition 3 (using TS's 
512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd image) to /mnt/sdinitrd
[2] From the INSTALL_MOD_PATH directory from the "make modules_install" 
step of rebuilding the kernel,
"cp lib/modules/2.6.21-ts/kernel/drivers/mmc/tssdcard.ko /mnt/sdinitrd"
"cp lib/modules/2.6.21-ts/kernel/drivers/serial/tsuart1.ko /mnt/sdinitrd"
"cp lib/modules/2.6.21-ts/kernel/drivers/serial/tsuart7300.ko 
/mnt/sdinitrd/tsuart7400.ko"
[3] Type sync and umount partition 3 of the SD card.
[4] Put the card into the SBC and boot!
