Hi Dan,
As you I'm on embedded Linux from bit more than one year !
I had the same corruption problem and kernel questions as you. TS does not
support 2.6 yet..... I hope they does soon !
Now I'm using TS7260 flashed with 2.6 kernel + external SD card partitioned
ext3.
This kit works well and I never saw corruption or system crash.
If you want to try that, I could send you flash image and SD image files...
