Hi Don. I used the 512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd image,
and the first thing I did was transfer that image to a 2GB card and
make sure it works with dd & bs=2048.  Then I enlarged the fourth
partition to fill the card.  That gave me:  my2GB-linux2629-lenny- 
eabi.dd,
which I used as an image from then on.

Then I took the 2.6.29 kernel source from www.kernel.org, and applied
Matthieu's patchset to it.  Then I used the default configuration for  
TS-7260
as a starting point.

You'll have to look into arch/arm/config to see the ones Matthieu  
added, think
it was 'make ts7260_def_config' but I could be off a few letters on  
spelling the
make target.

The whole thing is tricky.
I use standard a USB card reader.

The kernel insertion:

dd if=/arch/arm/boot/zImage of=/dev/sde2 bs=2048

is safe.  But  you must make darn sure to unmount the
auto-mounted /dev/sde1 /cdv/sde2, and /dev/sd4 BEFORE
using dd on these other partitions!  Running fsck on them occasionally
from the host machine is not a bad idea!

I finally resorted to using the make modules_install target in the  
kernel and directing
the build to copy the modules to a neutral location:

sudo -E make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/qf/Desktop/bbb

and then

sudo cp -r /home/qf/Desktop/bbb/lib/modules/ /media/disk-2/lib/

Then each of the three mounted partitions must be manually unmounted,  
or you
are asking for trouble:  sudo umount /dev/sde1, etc.  (sde4 takes ~30  
seconds
to unmount)

Best.
