I am running a TS-7260 with this user space image
(ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-images/512mbsd-7400-linux2629-lenny-eabi.dd.bz2). I can boot with this kernel

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7350-linux/sources/linux-2.6.21-ts-src-feb022010.tar.gz

and there are no problems, but if I boot with a later kernel

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/sources/tskernel-2.6.21-ts-src-dec262012.tar.gz

I receive the following messages at boot:

Searching for NAND flash...
NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xf1 (Samsung NAND 128MiB
3,3V 8-bit)
Hardware ECC NOT detected!
Using default partition definition
Creating 4 MTD partitions on "NAND 128MiB 3,3V 8-bit":
0x00000000-0x02000000 : "whole chip"
0x00004000-0x00204000 : "kernel"
mtd: partition "kernel" doesn't start on an erase block boundary --
force read-only
0x00204000-0x00404000 : "initrd"
mtd: partition "initrd" doesn't start on an erase block boundary --
force read-only
0x00404000-0x02000000 : "rootfs"
mtd: partition "rootfs" doesn't start on an erase block boundary --
force read-only

Can anyone provide any insight as to what might be going on here, and
why there is a problem with the later kernel?  I'm using the same
.config file for each kernel.

Don
